What does he mean by 'I love being with you'?

In response to me telling him that I love him.
We've been together 7 months, it's his first relationship since his wife died 20 years ago, he wanted to concentrate on bringing up their children.
It's my first relationship since I divorced my abusive husband a few years ago.
We met online and instantly clicked.
He behaves like he loves me, but if I tell him I love him, he answers with 'I love being with you'.
Does he love me, or is it just a 'nice' relationship for him, do you think?

I'm 48 and have teenage children who don't need to have my boyfriends hanging around all the time :) I'm very happy to be moving so slowly; neither of us is expecting anything as far as I can tell. But you do both have to be on the same page for that to work.
