Search Results: signs that he's after sex

So I met this guy from online. And we started talking for around 2 weeks. We had our first date last Saturday (if that’s what you want to call it). I felt a connection with him and we held hands on the date and such. After the date, even prior to the date, we talked about video games and how he has his semi truck that he lives in for the time being because he is a truck driver. We brought up playing video games after the date. After the restaurant, we went to his pad and while he started the game system, he asked to kiss me. Long story short:
We ended up making out and it felt pretty hot. I am a virgin and I do not necessarily want to wait until marriage. I feel as if I’m ready if it’s with the right guy. And I asked him if he was willing to wait and he said no. It’s not apparently only due to his sex drive, he believes a couple should have sex before marriage to confirm there is a strong intimate connection. I asked him how long does he generally wait before he makes someone his girlfriend and he says labels are an external thing (as in how he’d address the person to other people). But he said, he would considered me his girlfriend because he is apparently seeing me exclusively and we are/ were intimate. Is he fucking around with me?

We are in a somewhat LDR, both live in different states and been talking every 2 to 3 days. We've both admitted we like each other. But he told me he is talking to another girl (few months ago). I haven't asked about this other girl since or if we are actually dating. Our topics have been quite personal, and we ask how each others day have been.

Recently we had a convo about sex and other personal stuff. He said 'feeling a mixture of I'm behind, longing for a girlfriend, and regret' um I thought I was his girlfriend? We both flirt and he calls me sweet names like 'beautiful, baby, sweetie, babe'

Negative signs are he sometimes doesn't reply for a few days, and when I message him after this period he says 'haha hey' and seems to say 'um' a lot when asking questions. E. g 'Hey um this is a personal question but I have to ask...'

I am meeting him in a few weeks, and staying for a month. Should I wait to ask in person if he's serious about dating and being my boyfriend, or message him beforehand and risk making the meet awkward?
