Some of the things you mentioned sound like the kinds of things good and thoughtful friends do for one another. The answer to your question is that he told you he did. That does not sound like something a person would say to someone in jest, and especially not while angry. If you didn't reply to him with an "I love you, too", then perhaps he is afraid of scaring you off by bringing it up to you and maybe he feels like the ball is in your court now.
The real question you should be asking yourself is how do you feel about him? When I have been with someone I am interested in, I have never had any doubt of whether I am "in love with him". I have always known it. And I don't know if someone else can tell you how it feels to be "in love" with someone as this emotion and the feelings that come with being in love are not the same for everyone. And like someone else mentioned, no one can tell you he is truly in love with you. Only he knows that. If you are confused about your feelings at this point in your relationship it sounds like you are having some kind of doubts about him (possibly fear of getting too involved and risking rejection and/or a breakup). Try to focus more on what your expectations are in not just this one, but any relationship and learn more about yourself and then ask yourself if this person is fulfilling a lot of your needs. (No one is capable of fulfilling every need you have). He sounds very nice and thoughtful and very interested in you. Since you said that you do not have much experience with dating, then I suggest you don't get too involved with someone just to keep from being alone. It is interesting that you mentioned all the things he has done for you. I hope you are doing nice things for him....if not, ask yourself ..."why?"
Ask him, he is the only one who knows the true answer to your question.
No one on this or any other forum could even venture a decent guess since no one knows either of you.
This should have been the end of the thread. In fact, this is pretty much the answer to most of the questions on here. And I've said that before.
I wish people would learn to be adults and communicate instead of asking questions on a message board full of strangers.
It sounds like he likes you a lot! But give him time. Don't ask. 5 months is still very early in the relationship. Let him say it to you when he's ready.
