What do you think is going on here?

IF YOU READ THIS WHOLE THING UR A REAL ONE

I know i post about this a lot, sorry. But its just something on my mind and i love having outside opinions about it. Long story short i posted about how me and me ex broke up bc he wanted to focus on his job after promotion and felt he cant give me the attention. Bla bla. Half bs, im sure he lost a bit of attraction somewhere along the line and it was probably a bunch of little things. He is a great nice guy. Doesnt lie to me not a cheater and sex doesnt drive him. We werent toxic and we had really great communication and respect for each other. But anyways, He immediately said he wants to still be friends, we did. A little after tho, We didnt speak for 3 weeks because of something very valid and personal in his life. Well weve been talking and hanging out again. I had posted saying how we had the BEST sex ever the other day, had sex 4 times and it was full of passion and love. It was bomb. He still calls me babe sometimes. Maybe slip ups maybe intentional, idk. And also about how the other day he stared at me like he loved me. Which he didnt do often, stare at me like that. It was rare but cute. I had the intuition and gut feeling that he still loved me even tho he hasnt said it since we broke up. I dont initiate messages or hanging out, he does that. Hes been chasing after me again slowly, and doing little things. He surprised me and got me a Valentines day gift, full of things i love. I didnt get him anything, just accepted and said thank you. And ya. Well we hung out today after i spent the night. We had lots and lots of cuddles. He gave me lots of forehead kisses. And he did that stare thing again! I was watching tv there and he just was semi close and staring at me with a slight smile. And i just looked and smiled because he was looking for so long then said “what why are you looking at me lol” and he said “because.. because you’re cute”. Then gave me a kiss. We also had great sex. The sex is better now than before when we were together i feel like. And we seem to overall have more passion. Neither of us are dating other people or have eyes for that. And he still keeps things i gave him. We still know each others phone passwords. When we are together it seems like before again only 10x better. Well leaving his house, and before i got in my car….. he told me that he loves me! He said “i love you☺️” and then gave me a tender kind and short kiss. It was suppppper unexpected! This was after i said bye to his mom and brother who were visiting and his mom told him about how i bought her breakfast and a smoothie. But when he said that, Honestly i just pretended i couldnt hear it and ignored it and didnt say anything back lol. But i fucking knew it. My gut feeling was right. Even when people here were saying this and that. But Im just enjoying my life right now. And i know i dont need him in my life. But idk, when i was laying with him, he was asleep and kept pulling me closer. I had my arms resting up around his neck, and we would have really nice kisses. I felt many sparks and he just felt like home. We felt so comfortable with each other. Hes been coming at me strong lately, from the extra lovey dovet cuddles and long kisses, to the surprise valentines day gift, to consistently texting me every single day to check in, asking about my work school and family, and now saying i love you. Im just in shock he said that. Will i go to bed thinking about it all night? No. He would have to work a lot harder to get me back, id i did even want him back. And if he does even ever ask me lol. But ya

And hes 30 im 23 for reference
