Was he letting me down easy or does he actually like me

I met a guy a year ago who asked me out. I went out withhim a couple of times and soon found out he was very recently separated. He talked about it the whole time, so I decided to slowly stop talking with him. A year later he looked me back up and we started talking again.

We went out to a movie and dinner and he kissed me. He asked me out again to his place. He made me dinner and we watched a movie together. We made out on his couch. At this point is when I started to really like him. He sent me a text 2 days later. We texted for quite a while. He told me he really liked me, but never asked me out. He did the same thing the very next day. THen again two days later. I was becoming frustrated.

Last Thursday he texted me again. I told him I was going out with a girlfriend. He said he was free right then and I should come over (he gets his kids that weekend). I declined as I was already meeting a girlfriend. I asked when he was free again. he said all week and the next weekend. I said I was free Wednesday and made a suggestion of what we could do. He ignored me! he eventually said have a good night. All weekend he did not contact me (had his kids). But I saw that he was talking to people on facebk. Sunday he tried to do the marathon text thing again. I again tried to see if he would go out and he changed the subject, so I said I was calling him right then. he immediately said he was busy. I said I wasn't playing games and good bye. He called me in five minutes (his kids were still there talking to him). He apologized and asked me out for Monday and then said yes to Wednesday.

Monday we went out and had a great time. afterward we were at my place making out. He tried to have sex. I said no. Wednesday he called me canceling part of our plans saying he had more work than expected but that he could spend the evening with me (4th of July). I was bummed but agreed. We again had a great time. We end up at my place again he and tried to have sex with me again. I decided to ask if he was seeing anyone else as he was pressuring me for sex. He said no.

He then told me that he did not want to hurt me. He said he has developed feelings forme but feels like it is going fast. He said it was just three months ago that he and his ex tried one last time to make it work (he now finally knows it won't & the divorce was fnal 2 months ago). He is in the process of buying a house and he wants to get his life back on track before a relationship. He said he wants to have sex but he really wants to just spend time with me without sex right now. he said he feels good around me and like he can open up. He said in time he wants to open up more. He asked me to go for a hike on Sunday (he has the whole weekend free with no kids). I agreed but now am very confused I have feelings for him now. Is he just letting me down easy or does he like me? I didn't want to pressure him but he was sending me mixed signals. What do you guys think?

I guess I should add that he said he didn't want to lose me in his life because he really liked me. He then laughed and asked if I would wait for him (but sort of like joking too). I was bummed about all of it and that he has the whole weekend free but only wants to do something Sunday. I feel like he is seeing someone else. I did ask if he has other girl "friends" . He said he had three or so other friends that were females but nothing like what he has with me. He said I am the only one.
