What a (cute little) dummy you are. Of course your guy loves you: he's already told you that, and written it to you again and again. Believe him.

I was so mortified I simply said 'Ok, bye' and hung up the phone...
He didn't say "I love you" during this phone call because he could tell that you were "mortified" by your "mistake" in nearly saying it to him. He considered your feelings, and thought that you might think he was "rubbing it in" and trying to cause you embarrassment if he kept the "like you/love you" conversation going. Your guy's a gentleman for letting the whole thing drop.

Please help/offer advice! I'm almost certain he does love me, despite the fact we haven't actually said it, our relationship is very serious and intense, but now I'm afraid I'll have to end it because he didn't say it back... :s
Oh, now this is the dummy part. You're going to punish him for your "mistake," and for letting the conversation end without embarrassing you more? And you're thinking that his courtesy in letting your "mistake" slide is possibly a relationship ender? DUMMY.
Quit that.
What should you do now? You definitely shouldn't "ignore him for a few days:" you should see him just as soon as you would have done if your phone call had never happen, and you should probably give him an extra-big kiss for being such a nice guy. Beyond that, you should completely forget that you were stupid enough to think of ending your relationship over a couple of words that weren't said.
When in trouble,
Or in doubt,
Run in circles,
Scream and shout.
