How soon to tell him your interested in him and like him ?

I’ve started talking to this guy for a month but everyday talking was after we met in person the first time ! Which now is almost 2 weeks of everyday texting each other. He has told me that he will do something more woth a lady if he gets to meet her well and that it need time in general, on the first “date” he told me about his past and how he always had relationships and two were long term too which I think is god as he values relationships more than hookups I think. He told me that he doesn’t like the girl to be needy and all that which I hope so far I haven’t shown any red flags to him! We have met up three times together, once just chilled in my car and from getting to know each other it ended as a make out but no sex second coffee he kissed me while we were leaving and then the third time he was more touchy in a way resting his arm on my thigh and kissing me towards making out in the end of it which I kinda cut off as I had to leave! He has not kissed me infringe of people and he’s never held my hand while we walk or hug me when he sees me now idk if that something to consider! The texting part I can’t say that he’s trying to use pet names and sweetly and babe and showing extra flirty and complimenting me in a sexual or intimate way but he’s called me smart and good girl and all that. He uses a lot of humour and laughs a lot in the conversation he does remember to text me after his work he sometimes will send me good morning messages but I really want to get him to say good morning beautiful as now he’s been saying good morning (name) ! Which I don’t know if that a friend be thing or still couple kinda thing, he use to ask a lot of Qs about interests in music and stuff like that or how was my day and how am I and all but as the days pass the questions are decreasing and he’ll ask how are you and other stuff! He doesn’t use any flirt emojis he uses these ones 😇😉😅😂🤣🙂 and only once he sent 😘 but never again and I don’t know if that was by accident. As when I used it next time he didn’t. He’s always the one to end the convo at night as he goes to bed early (trust me he does he’s inactive from everything else after the goodnight text) and his goodnight texts are the same with the good morning ones only he send them every single night. Now I do like him a lot and I do want to tell him but I don’t know if it’s way too early as we only texted almost two weeks. And met three times I don’t want to be led on and get hurt but I also don’t want to seem desperate by asking him what is going on and like so far he hasn’t initiated for a fourth meet up date or whatever so I don’t know if I should eat or tell him I like him as I really do like him and I do have a small positive thought I could maybe e d up woth him which is also my dream! Any advice please help me and tell me how you started expressing your feeling and how soon is soon after 3 dates or should u go out more ?

He’s 27 and I’m 22 as I do know lates 20s guys do tend to settle a bit more I just don’t want to ruin it but I do want t know
