Does it seem he’s serious about me but backs down because he knows I’m not ready?

We are long distant.. as in he lives 9 hours away
he calls me “my girl”
he asked me for commitment
he said I represent him and he knows we can’t be official because I don’t want to be yet, he asked for loyalty but then backed down and said “Dont take all this sexual tension out on some other guy, I understand you have needs to so if you don’t you be laying down for no fuck boys or no suckers and don’t get pregnant. Try to respect me too”
when I’m sick or having a bad day he asks how he can make it better
His friend has told me that he’s on cloud 9 about me and he hasn’t seen him like this before
he shares YouTube videos he likes with me and songs with me
he knows my birthday month even though I never told him it
he doesn’t compliment me too often but when he does it feels sincere
He calls me often on the phone and claims he’s told his mom about me.
His mom has said hi to me on the phone call before a couple times
THEN today I said I’m still not sure about being his girl and he said “only you know what you want. I can’t read your mind” and then told me “you probably wouldn’t like my terms on a relationship anyway” ... is he just messing with my head?
