Does he really like me or is he just sticking around?

Here are points all in order:
-He is my biggest crush from church.
-We've both grown to mutually like each other over the past year, and started "talking" this year.
-This year has been pretty rocky between us. This year was also the year we finally hung out outside of church.
- our first hangout was at his house, and we made out. He mentioned sex, I declined. 2nd time at his house, things got really physical, foreplay...but never ever gave in for sex.
-I told him before that I will never have casual sex with him.
- During that 2nd time at his house, we were kissing and I brought up.."why arnt you mine?" While kissing him. It was time for me to go home, so he said that we had to go but continued to kiss me.
-Later on that night he says,"to answer your question, I need to focus on me. I have anger issues. I get tempted by other females." (I think he was letting me down easy)
-FASTFORWARD: my mom is the mom to want to be "comfortable" w/whoever I surround myself with. So she wanted me to invite him over, which I did..but always made excuses not to come over. Telling me that he was shy.
-My mom had enough of it, and contacted his mom saying that if he respects me, he would come over before I go back over his. He calls my mom to apologize if she ever felt like she was being disrespected. Since then, he has invited himself over(but those days I was really busy). And if I were to ask him to come over, it wouldn't be such a big deal now, like it was before. Not to mention he also says from time to time"tell your mom I said hi".
-It was actually my 3rd time, breaking it off with him. I told him that we both deserve someone better. He agreed, but believed that there was no one better and that I was "perfect" for him.
-he's made Instagram posts saying that he needs a book to understand females.
- I tried to break it off with him by telling him that I was interested in someone else, his response..."you are mine forever. Please. I don't what to lose you."

i think anger issue is something either to be resolved early on or stay away from because it can cost you much energy and frustration later.
Having sex on your first few dates is not recommended unless sex is the reason that got you into hanging out (which is not the case for you). You told him in advance that you want no casual sex, but it seems that he didn't hear you. It's your birthright to say no when your heart says no. if he doesn't respect you, it's his issue not yours. you have no obligation to hang out with him if you would not like to.
Also, thought you may benefit from these dating tips, such as #8-10, 94 (they are free but you need to sign up first).
