He asked me on a date then blocked me due to family issues is his dad controlling him?

This guy I liked has been asking me out since January, he keeps telling me how he likes me. He asked me out on a date, I said yes straight after he blocked me off everything I couldn't get in contact with him, I assumed he had met someone else and that I wasn't good enough. Last night he added me back on everything and messaged me saying 'I need to explain something to you, is that okay? X' I said go for it because I wanted to know why he had blocked me with no explanation. He said 'I've been having a tough time with my dad, I didn't want anything serious and I kinda bailed because you seemed interested and I didn't really know what to do because you seemed interested, that's why I blocked you. I really really liked you but was in a bad place so didn't know how to deal with the situation but I do really like you so I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings in anyway x' I told him he could have asked for space and I would have left him alone and respected that, I asked him if he was seeing someone else and he said no then he said 'can I see you this weekend? Been thinking about you a lot and I feel so bad so wanna meet up to make amends and spend some time with a girl that's pretty hot, been thinking about you loads recently xx' I dunno if he's just trying to play me and use me for one thing or if he's being genuine. His family are high flyers and he went to a private school all his life. His dad owns his own businesses and wants him to graduate as a lawyer yet he doesn't want to
