If she says she loves me in a different way, but I love her romantically can I really be friends?

We dated for 2 years, the entire time letting my armor fall slowly. I showed affection, showed support, love, and trust. She did anything and everything to break it down, and I love her in every way for who she is....

What if I told you that deep down, all men really want is to be told they are loved and valued?

Guy (M25) has a crush on me (F27), says he loves me and shows it, treats me amazing in ways I didn't even ask for, but also has a girlfriend (F20)?

I'm really confused and not knowing how to approach him. I don't want to scare him off by pushing things, but at the same time I need things to be more clear. Met him on a dating app in May/June (can't recall), share...
