Should I get in contact with him?

So I started seeing this guy. He was really nice, we got along great. We went on a four or five dates in a span of a week. He was always the one to initiate hanging out and I never contacted him first. One day he came to a little get together of a group of friends of mine. We had a conversation there about a new job I was getting and he said that he hopes our schedules work out so we still have time to hang out all the time. The next day we had plans to go to an even his dad was throwing. He called me when he was on his way and uninvited me. He said he didn't think it was a good idea. I figured he just thought things were moving too fast for me to meet his family, which I understood. But he never said it out right so i later asked him if i did anything wrong. He told me no, he just needed time to figure things out and didn't want to lead me on. I asked him if that meant he didn't want to hang out anymore. He said he likes hanging out with me, but "didn't know". I was really confused and I said that to him and he explained to me that before we started talking he just broke up with someone he really cared about. I respect that so I dropped it. I didn't get in contact with him for a few days. I quickly texted him telling him about something that we had previously had a conversation about. The text said "i just wanted to tell you..." and i really didn't want a full conversation out of it, because i wanted to respect his wishes. He replied to what i said, and continued the conversation, asked about my day, about a hockey game, and a bunch of other things. The following day he texted me when he was bored in class, in that conversation he mentioned maybe meeting up that weekend. I haven't talked to him for almost a week. I was wondering if it would be bad to text him, and maybe see if he would possibly want to hang out. He is a really nice guy, and i enjoyed spending time with him. Even if he doesn't want a girlfriend right now, I would still like to be his friend. I just don't want to smother him, but I also am a little bit selfish and want to see him again. Since I understand that he is working things out for himself, I don't really think that is leading me on since he was open and honest about it. But I wasnt sure if that's guy code for I dont want to see you anymore. But he did say we should met up. haha confusing.
