Please dont judge me, I just need some advice. Me or her?

Now, i dont want to be judge on the fact that I met this guy online. Get over it, it happens, and sometimes has brilliant results.Nothing was supposed to happen, we started off really good friends, eventually getting closer and closer. I liked him, but couldnt tell him for the fear of not being liked back. But a few months down the line he told me that he likes me too, so we began texting most of the day etc. He is one of those people that you just know wouldnt set out to hurt you on purpose, i knew he wasnt messing around with other people etc, as, well, he was talking to me all day everyday. This went on for about a year. We kinda had a relationship but are yet to meet up for severeal reasons. Things stopped just before christmas just gone. Yet, 5 months on we are still talking, and are very close. He doesnt trust many people because of his ex, but he tells me everything. A few days ago he told me that he told his ex he loves her. Obviously, i am now broken, but holding it together so i can help him. He told me he doesnt deserve my help because hes hurt me, but he is very grateful for it. Later that night i text him telling him im confused, and dont know whats going on. He suggested being close friends, so i told him i thought i meant more than that, and he said i do, just close friends for now. He has cut all ties with this girl, as he doesnt want to feel the way he does about her. He is very sensitive, and caring, and would never set out to hurt me. I feel totally in love with this guy, and have done for over a year now. Does he still love me?
