Says he misses me and wants to see me, but doesn't want a relationship?

I've been talking to this guy almost everyday for the most part since November. In December we started having sleep overs to say the least, but never have done anything really serious. Eventually he says that this has been the first year of college where he hasn't been in a relationship, so even though he does have feelings for me he doesn't want to be in a relationship. This was fine with me and we would hangout and watch movies, go to the store together, and basically be friends with benefits, but would have a relationship beyond just hooking up. It's been a couple months since we had the conversation about him not wanting a relationship and now that it's summer and we're apart he's called a few times to say that he misses me and wants me to visit him or have him come visit me and will just ask about my day, and one night (although he had been pretty drunk) texted that some of his best times last year were hanging out with me, but in my mind i have no idea how to respond to that because if he doesn't want a relationship, then in my mind he shouldn't be saying those type of things, so there is no reason for me to say those type of things back to him. I just kind of find it confusing & next time we actually talk on the phone and aren't just texting I plan on bringing it up, but was just wondering if anyone had any thoughts on where his head is.
