Pls help: Mixed signals but he says he likes me?

I’ve been seeing this guy, we had sex for the first time last week. Then I noticed he was avoiding certain things I said. Then two nights ago I got fed up and he tells me he was lying about acting different. And that he’s dealing with some issues that he’s not ready to talk about and that he’ wants to get to know me more than just in a sexual way. But says he likes me and wants to be around me... but he’s still kind of acting a little weird. I told him if he’s seeing or talking to someone else to just let me know and I’ll disappear. But he says he’s not.

I’m not sure how to process that because most guys just usually ghost me.

Anyone have any ideas or thoughts about a guy like that?
