Was he secretly in love with me or just intensely physically attracted?

I'm not in love, I'm simply curious. We don't even talk to each other anymore.

Basically, I own multiple houses that I inherited from my dad. I had a long distance friendship with a man, he used to text me every single day, he knew about my houses, one day he said: ''I'd like to pay you the rent just to live in your city and have you around every day.''

He never said he was in love with me, he always said he was just a friend. He never tried to hide the fact that he was physically attracted to me, he even said ''You'd be the best sex of my life'' and he used to give me dozens of different compliments. Some of the compliments he gave me: beautiful, charismatic, magnetic, intelligent, strong.

He used to say this: ''I really want to fuck you, but I'm happy to talk to you and have a connection with you, I genuinely value our friendship.''

He never offered a romantic relationship. But I don't know what would've happened if I had asked for more, I wasn't in love with him and I didn't want to play with his feelings just to find out what was going on.

Was he hiding his feelings? Or was he really just a friend who desired me physically in an intense way? I'm clueless.
