He’s not ready for a relationship

I met this person on tinder, and very early on thought it would be awesome to go on a date, but we live about an hour away from each other. That didn’t stop us, and planned a halfway date. We had a week or so before the date so we talked a lot, and matched very well. We sort of fantasized our future and we’re both very open and honest about what we want and about ourselves in general. It was sort of a dream how well everything was going; we even planned times for a second and third date if the first date goes well. The first date came; and it was AMAZING for the both of us. It wasn’t awkward or weird, we clicked like we did online. We both found each other very attractive on all levels; had a great time at dinner, went to a park, kissed, talked; blah blah blah. We ended up making out a ton, and a little further (no sex). It was just a wonderful time and we then went on the second date a couple days later.This is where it gets a little more real. He started off the date talking about how he isn’t ready for a relationship and he might need to take time to himself. He talks to a counselor he has known for a long long time, and because of past relationships and insecurities of his, he told me this. He did this all not to hurt me, or get my hopes up as we sort of thought we would become a thing fairly quickly. So this date started off pretty blunt and honest, which was a bummer, but also really appreciated. To make a long story short, we talked and stayed with each other hours after, had a little fun, and talked about this all. It was really quite sad, and we are both really into each other; but he doesn’t want to get involved in something for a label or for the wrong reasons. He said over the summer he will be able to collect himself and see where he stands in being ready for a relationship and will let me know either way.We are both busy with stuff this summer for a couple months so would have been separated and busy anyway, so if we were to become a thing it would have been after we have completed our summer stuff (mid-August). The plan was to meet back up once more before college starts, and try to make it work long distance.We both really have a connection, and will still keep in contact over the summer; just wondering what you all think about all of this, and what you would do in my situation? I feel I have no problem waiting I see if he is ready, as I will be consumed by my summer job, but afterwords feel I should move on if he doesn’t think he can commit.
