This Scorpio man is confusing me...

I am a pisces and I have been with a Scorpio man for 8 months now. There is a bit of long distance between us but it's never been an issue. Well, He told me that he loves me first. But it seems like every time we get closer to each other and he says he Loves me, the next time we talk, he acts really distant and makes it out like he never said it and it never happened. But he'll still call me all the time, he just treats me more like he's getting to know me again. And he does this all the time. I never put any pressure on him about his feelings, he comes out on his own and says the "I Love You's" and becomes all caring and affectionate. I don't get it. As a pisces I have a strong ability to adjust to change rather well. Like a fish in a river, I just follow the currents. And I can handle his ups and downs, I just don't understand them. Like He will say he loves me at the end of a conversation and I say it back. He will still call me the next day and act kind of caring but he'll act a little egotistical and kind of teases me and ends the conversation with only a simple "sweet dreams". Then he will go a day or two of not calling at all. Then when he does call we talk for days on ends and laugh and joke around and he'll even call me a few times a day, then he ends up getting all loving and then, you guessed it, the same vicious cycle once again.
I always feel like he is playing a game, not playing me, but testing me, I dunno. Maybe it has nothing to do with him being a scorpio, maybe it's just his personality. I just can't decide if I should keep at it or move on. Like he always says he loves me and he is always reliable and our personalities work so well together but I am still unsure about his feelings because he is always so back and forth.

Consider yourself lucky he calls you the next day. 😉

I'm sure some scorps will respond, but in my experience this is the standard operating procedure.
