He's already told OP he's not ready to be in a committed relationship. Seems pretty clean-cut to me. The man either isn't all that interested in you but you'll do fine enough until someone he likes better or is attracted more to, shows up, or he's actually highly emotionally damaged and he seriously needs medical help that you can't provide because you are not qualified for it, and even if you were, you shouldn't do it. You're his girlfriend, not his shrink.

Fair enough but do you "freak out" when a woman shows affection or tells you she misses you?  

Depends. I don't like hand  holding as I feel it's childish and for young people, and  I don't really like public display of affections. Privately? Sure, I like them, if she doesn't overdoe it. If a girlfriend tells me she misses me when she just saw me this morning? Yeah, I'm gonna wonder if she's clingy. Did she go a week or two without seeing me or hearing from me? Then yeah, I understand that she does miss me, and I don't freak out.

I'm just concerned that he just doesn't feel the way I feel and I'm just wasting my time until he finds someone else.

Have you read the book 📚 "He's Just Not That Into You"? You are wasting your time, he told you that.

Better yet, read "Men Who Can't Love" and "He's Scared, She's Scared, the Hidden Fears that Sabotage Relationships."

Men who aren't into you don't freak out or have panic attacks when they get close.  

They simply don't get close, they're aloof and indifferent.

Big difference there.
