Guy who rejected me in the past held my hand, do you think he likes me?

The guy who rejected me in the past held my hand when I was afraid cause we were both going to a very steep mountain. He said he got afraid that i was afraid so he grabbed my hand and squeeze it multiple times. He didn't let go until we were safe.

It was really romantic but at the same time I can't help but wonder if he feels something more for me now. What I noticed from him is that he is already very caring with me and I can feel that he loves me but I don't know really if it's romantic or platonic. Just that if we eat for example, he checks to make sure what i eat is okay for me as i have sickness in the stomach. He also worries about me going home alone and wants me to message when i arrive home. I can sense he is very protective of me.

Other sign I could mention is that when he got hospitalized, he asked me to chat to him before and after his surgery to check on him and I don't think he asked that from any other friend of his lol.

When I also shared to him about my battle with my anxiety, he gave me a long message from his psychologist saying to me that if I ever have these attacks, know that I should look at the things that have improved or become better. I really felt touched because he just poured his heart out to comfort me. Incidentally, he also has anxiety so there was a time when he said don't worry, I'll calm you down. Let's calm each other down.

Do you think he likes me?
