Capricorn Man Has Me Confused... Need Advice

So I've been seeing this older Cap man for the past 3 months and I'm just so confused. The man comes with a lot of baggage (exwife/childs mother) and I'm fine with it but he just deals with all his stress the wrong way. He will stop communicating with me when he's stressed. I understand he needs his space and I gladly give it to him (I don't cling and have never complained). I'm there for him the moment he comes back around. He will apologize for being distant and tells me there was drama. He is also less communicative when he has his child over. Totally understandable.

In the beginning on our dates he was super into me and touchy. Once we started getting intimate the real dates stopped, so did the being touchy and he just always invites me over to his house. From the first day we were intimate he made me promise not to be with anyone else. I am somewhat very attractive looking so his possessive side always comes out but I think I'm just figuring out that it's his insecurity and not that he likes me. We do cute stuff like go get a quick bite to eat while I'm over and recently he started cooking for us. He has somewhat opened up to me about his issues and his personal hobby.

The week before Xmas I gave him a gift for his BDay knowing I would not seem him for more than a week. It was something I know he would love and on our 2nd date he mentioned he wished he had someone spoil him with gifts like I do for the people I care about. I know he liked his gift. I think he was a bit caught off guard because it felt bad he had nothing for me. I told him this is a Bday gift and my Bday is not for a few months so no worries he had enough time to get me something.

But then over the Christmas holiday he sent me a very "push you out of my life" text and it was very hurtful. He was having major drama and said he was emotional. Told me I deserve someone better and he was not going to be better. I immediately called him and he ignored my call. I know Cap man put themselves down and are insecure. So I reassured him that I was happy with him and I didn't want what we had to end. I didn't hear from him for a few days (he had his child with him) and then like nothing I get a message to see him (this is the day after the child left). I never mentioned the hurtful text thinking it would just be more drama for him. He did show me some personal pic of his child and what they did on his bday. In my mind this is him opening up to me because he is super overprotective about showing me intimate moments with his child.

I went out for the new year (i don't go out often) and decided I was not going to text him. I didn't think he would be out too. I was surprised when he texted me a bit after midnight. He then later texted me he was drunk and it continued to where I was almost about to pick him up to drive his car home. He some what sobered up and drove himself home but we spoke for most of the ride. I wanted to make sure he got home safe.

Now I'm so confused with, if he like me or not.If you'd asked me last month I would totally say yes he's into me but he was just being a slow doubtful insecure Cappy and he has too much drama right now. Now I'm just upset because I'm telling myself maybe I'm just a beneficial friend. He's starting to be more distant after being intimate and I want to show him affection but he doesn't let me. Yesterday the full moon was in Cancer and I'm a cancer so I was somewhat super emotional. I jokingly did something stupid because I was mad at him for being distant. And the rest of the night just went down hill for me. I felt an awkward tension in the air but from me. He knew something was up with me but I said nothing. We have a date tomorrow that I set up as his Bday gift and now I don't know how to act.

I like him a lot and he is mister hot and cold. But I am a person that needs reassurance that this is not just a game we are playing. I want to know that he likes me. I don't need to get committed right now, I know he has a lot to deal with and i want to be in a relationship when he is ready for one. I trust that he is not out there being a player. We have this promise to each other that we will not be intimate with anyone else while we are intimate with each other.

I'm just at a point where the lines are blurring and my optimism is just turning out bad. I've read a lot of Cappy stories and it sounds like he is interested in me but also that he may not be. I'm at a cross road of making a decision to keep going or cut him out. If I bring it up to him I feel like hes not going to want to talk about it thinking its the relationship talk, which is not my intention.

Here is where I need your advises and experiences....
