Is it a red flag if he wants to be exclusive & says he will tell other girls he is talking to someone but says he doesn't think labels are necessary?

he is a private person and likes relationships to be private because he doesn't like to answer annoying questions from his immature friends but when i asked him what we are he said "if you want you can consider me your boyfriend" but also said he doesn't think labels are necessary. is this a bad sign or do some guys just dont want labels? he keeps mentioning the future with me once we start college together but for 2 more months we will be long distance. is that whh he doesn't want to commit? is he jusr lusting after me? when making out he is respecting my pace even though he seems to want more and checks to make sure i am comfortable but i dont quite understand why he is shying away from a label..
