I need advice..

My boyfriend and i have been long distant for eight years.. 15 to 24.. we broke up in November but decided to work on things and saw eachother in december.. things went perfectly. Well when i got back he decided he still wanted to just keep working on things and not be back together yet, i agreed because i love him and want our future together. I planned to go see him next month but he is saying he thinks we should keep working on what issues we have before we see eachother again. I feel if a man truly wants things to work he would want to see me. What would you do?
