I have to disagree pinkie: the protagonist doesn't love the girl at all. Like most of Rediscovers songs, it seems this one is also about using a girl for physical gratification.
He doesn't want to chase after her or call her (hence "the phone tag you know I hate"), he just wants sex. He says "Just tell me to say I like you, I'll say it anyway," which suggests he doesn't actually like her, but he'll tell her that anyways. Same goes for the "I'll fake it" lines. His true intentions show the most in the bridge: "Well darling don't be scared when I touch you there."

Clearly a song about using a girl.
