No, "I love him for want me" is not grammatically correct. "Verb +ing" does not always follow "for". A verb in the 'ing' form is only used when explaining the purpose of using something. This is usually the response to the question "What is this for?". (In other words, what is the purpose of this object?) The answer is then "It is for sharpening the kitchen knives" (for example).

IF you want to use a verb after "for", it will always be in the "ing" form.

it may be better to say "because he wants me" or "for the fact that he wants me." But no you do not have to use a verb depending on the context in which you are using "for".

For it to be gramatically correct, it would have to be "wanting me". Other examples:
... for lovING me.
... for havING me.
