Is this person saying he really loves me if he says it helps to see people he loves and hes glad to see me?

Answer 1

Yeah, totally.  He's trying to tell you that he loves you without freaking you out.  Some people are very cautious in saying those three little words, so they may take a round about way to say it in order to see how you react.

Answer 2

Sure, but maybe they love you in a platonic way, not a sexual way.

They can love ice cream, Mozart and you. The feeling can be genuine, make them feel great but it doesn't mean they want to pursue you, they just really enjoy your company.

You sound worried, don't be.  It sounds like a genuine compliment, that's all.
