How do you go about a guy that says he eventually wants a relationship but at the moment his life is a mess?

He said he wants to be able to provide for my needs in the relationship. I am unsure whether to lightly tread on this situation or let it go. I like him a lot and a couple of days ago asked what he wanted from the situation and he said exactly it’s going to go in the direction I’m looking for. I really need advice because I’m not sure whether to take it day by day or just let go
