My ex person thing

So I've been on & off with this guy for now 10 months. Like I love him to absolute death no matter how many times he did fuck me over. But he never spends time with me and right now we're not dating and i don't know it kinda scares me that he's talking to other girls especially this one that was my "friend" who sent him stuff while we were dating and he was saying today how we cant be official just yet because it would ruin his plan and I have no idea what this plan could be. Btw I'm 16 & he's 17. I just don't know what to do. He calls me baby & stuff and we talk all the time and I mean I understand he has work so he can't see me all the time but I don't know if I'm just being paranoid
