Boundaries?

Hey girls I need advice. I’ve been so confused as to where I stand with this guy and how to even comfort him since he’s going through a rough patch in life rn. I can’t say I fully know him. I just kind of knew of him out of high school, but now some how reconnected and started this sort of relationship. I had noticed something different and I had asked if he wanted me to give him space, because at this point we don’t have a title or either one of us are obligated to each other, but he told me he didn’t want to be glued to his phone blah blah blah, so I left it at that and just took it as backing off and let him be. I hadn’t talked to him in about a week and he asked me to go over but I responded sarcastically so he knows I felt some kind of our last conversation, and he told me this. I feel bad and he left me on read this morning so I don’t know if I should just kindly message him asking how he’s doing letting him know he’s not alone just checking in on him. I’m just confused as to what he wants and especially from me. It’s never a definite answer.
