Was breakup a test? Aqua woman + Scorpio man

I was with a Scorpio for about 4 months until he ended things abruptly. Our relationship started off as a friendship which then developed into a "friends with benefits" relationship. After a while I got tired of the lack of commitment and finally confronted him about my desire to be make ourselves exclusive. He told me that he liked me but was hesitant to commit because of past relationships that had ended badly. Basically he was a commitment phobe. He had told me once before that he had never been in a relationship for more than 5 months which was surprising to me at first, but now I understand why. We eventually went out after admitting that he had "jumped without realizing". A month into the relationship we had a petty fight over something stupid and that weekend he broke up with me telling me that our relationship "wasn't what he expected". Later on that day we meet up and he asks me to take him back because it didn't feel right breaking up and he wanted another chance to try things out. Of course I take him back and the next three months are great. No fighting or anything. We were like best friends who hung out with eachother all day and did everything together. I went out of my way on New Years to visit him while we were home for the holidays (7 hrs away) and I could tell that this act was a big deal to him. Right when I think that we're falling for eachother he dumps me with no explanation. He later explains to me that our relationship was getting too serious and he was scared of getting too hurt. Well let me tell you, I was the one that got hurt in the end. We continued to text and remained virtual buddies for about three months and then out of the blue he asks me to hang out again and long story short.. everything is back to normal. We're not together, but I can tell by the way he looks at me and treats me that he never really got over me. Was this his way of testing me to see if I was willing to stick with him? I know he "tests" his friends by distancing himself, but they eventually just stop talking to him so he has to find new ones. I have no idea what to expect from him. Anyone willing to share their perspective??

this sounds like young love
