27/f and 45/m - Is this the start of a controlling relationship?

I 27f and my coworker 45m have worked together closely for the past 2 months, before that we worked in separate areas. So after getting to know each other and found there was mutual attraction he came over to my place and hung out for a couple hours. Since then heā€™s been very persistent on coming over to hang out, he does have 2 kids so I understand that itā€™s not easy for him to always get away. Itā€™s happened twice now where we make plans to hang out and he ends up ā€œfalling asleepā€ or it just gets too late for him. Through text messages heā€™s been telling me he canā€™t stop thinking about me and that he canā€™t wait to figure out each others likes and dislikes. Now, in a separate conversation we had prior to him coming over to my place we both had stated that we liked being single and we both are not looking for a relationship, just fun. Now he is being completely different and using phrases like ā€œyour other houseā€ ā€œour bedā€ ā€œWhen you want, my world can become your worldā€ Also mentioned about me meeting his ex wife, mind you he came over on Monday so weā€™ve only been talking for about a week. Iā€™m not sure if this is what the term love bombing is, as iā€™ve only been in one relationship and that lasted 7 years. So the way he is talking is completely new to me and iā€™m not familiar with it . I also donā€™t know if maybe thatā€™s just how an older guy is? He tells me he canā€™t stop thinking about me since seeing each other last Monday. He canā€™t get me out of his mind. Itā€™s hard to tell if he is being genuine with me or not since on two occasions now heā€™s flaked on plans. Iā€™m actually confused and iā€™m not sure what he wants from me? He makes it clear what he wants, but itā€™s the way he says things that makes me feel like itā€™s just moving way too fast since weā€™ve only had one on one time outside of work for MAYBE 5 hours. Iā€™m just wanting to see what other people think of the situation and if this is the start of a controlling type of relationship? Heā€™s told me that heā€™s a super jealous person and that he walks by my machine to let me know heā€™s thinking about me or just to make eye contact, since weā€™re keeping things private about our situation. So I canā€™t really talk to anyone that knows him at work since it would break trust between us. Please give me advice or if youā€™ve been through anything similar? TIA
