What does it mean when a man says I am the only one he desires? Does he only want to use me for sex or does he love me?

Ask him. He is the only one that can give you the answer he means.

I agree with Nucking, the only way to find out is to ask.

I think it means that, at the moment, you are the only one he's thinking about and interested in having a relationship with, sexual or otherwise. But it's not necessarily the same as love. I don't say to my husband (or he, to me), "I desire you!" I mostly say, "I love you." Desire is part of love I think, but love does not necessarily come from desire.

Desire is not love, desire is lust put into a nicer word,

I agree with everything everyone already said but I would add, that if you act in a way that he percieves as jealous, or you ask about that girl he works with or if he was looking at that girl at another table while you are out at a restaurant etc etc, he might just be trying to alleviate your fears by telling you that he only wants (desires) you.
