He may have meant it, but more likely it was the sex. Sorry but that's how I'd read it.
It's too soon, or it would be for me also, so I'd also be hesitant to take him at his word. I wouldn't dwell on it too much, just don't say it back unless you mean it too. Maybe over time his claim to love you will be confirmed by his actions also. Just enjoy the fact that maybe this guy likes you a lot.

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.
Fernando Pessoa, 1918
