He won't do long distance?

So there's this guy, I dated him for 5/6 months last year long distance but we broke up bc of distance issues. A few months later we started an "exclusive" thing- neither of us know what to call it but we're not dating- and that's been going on for 11 or so months now. So I asked him if he'd consider getting back together, and he said he'd love to date me but he doesn't see it as "practical" and that he "doesn't think there'd be a point". In a year I'm most likely going to a college in his state so I'd be way closer, and he told me to wait for college and that if I'm still into him we could maybe do something. I don't really know what to do. Does this just mean he doesn't love me or isn't willing? Bc he legit talks about kids and marriage.. Or does it just mean he doesn't wanna go through the whole long distance thing again? Bc it was tough on both of us.
