What do I do (noob)?

hi! little background info, but i’ve never had a boyfriend or talked to a guy… two weeks ago a boy asked for my phone number at work :) we’ve been texting and he asked me on a date. turns out he is like 1.5 years younger (he is 16). his mom is very strict and has screen time and she came to the first date with us (she was very nice, but controlling). he was sweet and we played footsies lol. few days later i visited him at work for an hour and he was VERY touchy like hugging, hand holding, trying to get kisses, etc. lol the texts used to be cute and constant, here recently he is getting more distant and not flirting, but still texting… also he’d rather be hugging and affectionate than to talk… now he didn’t text for 2 days and then came back and said he was sorry that he was busy and going through mental health problems… so i think he’s still interested? but he just doesn’t text anymore like he used to. i don’t know how to tell him that it makes me sad when he ghosts me for days. he doesn’t have his license so it makes it hard to do stuff and i’m not sure how to make it work… any advice on this whole situation please? lol thank you :)
