Relationships

I don't want you to feel like I'm leading you on...

So i've been with this guy for a while. Met him last February in the start of our class at school. e hit it off and talked and hung out, and finally started doing things together. We both knew we liked each other. This November we became exclusive with each other knowing he's not ready for anything serious yet. It has been going pretty well. Lately he has been so busy with work. Working harder to try and get into a new position at his job. He has has been so busy that I felt like he was ignoring me and not talking so much when in fact he was not.He apologized and explained about work which I fully understand. We then had a talk he said he does not want me to feel like he's leading me on,but right now he is not ready for a serious relationship. He does not know but he could be ready at some point but not at that second that we talked. He explained about the new position at work that's possible and that he will have very little time for much,hopefully if he lands this new position. What does this all mean? I know he's being truthful because that's the person he is,but is he saying he's not ready now or won't be ready with me? Things have been good with us and we have acted like a couple.Im just wondering where this is going to take us. If I should continue to do what we have been doing or loose all hope in us.
