Ladies, a sister 🙋🏻‍♀️ needs some advice 😞

I’ve been talking to a guy for a while now, long distance. We get along perfectly fine and we’ve gotten to the point where we tell each other that we like each other but are not dating or anything official like that. To my surprise the other day we were talking sexually and I told him I really wanted him to which he responded he wanted me too...but then He told me he was “dying to be intimate with someone” and i said me too but I’m waiting until October when I’m with you and he responded “Well I’m alone, and single, so I can” which really took a blow. I mean he is right he is single but then why the f has he been talking to me like he’s into me yet when topics get serious he’s been like “I wish I had someone close by to me who has shown me the amount of love you have towards me.” “The problem here is the distance.” Or he’s called me to ask who else I text, to say he misses me, etc. We are scheduled to see each other in person for the first time October 19th. We usually talk every day, I’ve poured my heart out to this guy to show him that I’ve fallen for his heart and his physical presence is just gonna seal the deal. But now I just feel like he’s playing games and it hurts really bad. We usually talk daily but I haven’t talked to him the last 2 days he’s messaged me but I’ve ignored it and today he messaged “You left me on read I see.” And I don’t know what to do, do I respond? Do I keep ignoring him? I’m not one to usually ignore anyone actually but he has to understand that he can’t mess with me. Girls, I don’t know what to do, I’m too emotionally involved to just drop everything, I still care about him so deeply but I also see that I have to protect myself and care for myself. I don’t know what to do please leave a sister some advice. Thank you.
