Open Question: Not sure what to make of this relationship?

Long story short…at the very end of December I began talking to a guy online through Facebook (he knows a friend of mine). Anyhow…we emailed each other almost every day for about a month and finally talked on the phone. I knew at this point that I had an attraction to him physically and mentally. We decided to meet and have been seeing each other ever since then. The details…he lives about 1.5 hours away, is about ten years older than I am (I’m in my late 20’s). I really do have feelings for him, we have the best connection that I have had with a guy. About a week ago, he tried to end things with me because he doesn’t think in the long term that he can handle a long distance relationship. I convinced him it could work (we see each other every weekend) so we are going to continue seeing each other. I know he cares for me, he calls me every night and we talk through email or text at least once a day. So if anything, he is more the one contacting me. But then tonight on the phone he asked what time I would be going home on Saturday (going to his place Fri night). He basically said he didn’t want to hang out all day and night because he has things he wants to do. Every other time I have stayed over I usually stay most of the day because I do enjoy spending time with him. But now I have this weird feeling that he gets annoyed with how long I stay and it’s just rubbing me the wrong way. Maybe I am overreacting? For someone who wants to see me more than once a week (hence why he doesn’t want a ldr) then why would he be so weird about making me leave? Please don’t say he has a date or something because I really do trust him and the lines of communication are very open between us. If he was seeing someone else or I was, we agreed to tell one another.Do you think a long distance relationship can work living 1.5 hrs away if we see each other once a week and talk everyday? We’ve already discussed how one of us would need to move eventually and I really want this to work. But his whole space issue suddenly made me have doubts.ThanksI should probably also add that he has told me he does want a relationship. So I don’t think it’s really a commitment issue, unless it relates directly to me. I just think it’s strange that he calls me all the time and keeps in contact, yet made a comment about when I would leave when we only get one night/day together a week.
