Yesterday, before ending a phone conversation, he said "I love..." and he cut himself short. Not sure why he didn't continue. He probably wants to say it but when he's really sure (?).
Its possible, he may just not be sure what he wants and is still figureing it out. If hes in that confused state he might not want to lead you on because then you could start to gain expectations. It could be that hes just becoming comfortable around you (because of no pressure) and it was more of habit that he caught himself on.
You did good not to point it out and putting him on the spot. Give him space and don't put pressure on him, let him figure things out.
If you don't have a signature yet it might be a good time to put one, it helps reading along. You can set it by clicking My Stuff => Edit Profile.
Accept what is, let go of what was, and have faith in what will be
