Is my boyfriend only telling me what I want to hear or does he mean what he says?

My boyfriend of 4 months is nice, understanding, we go on dates, and we're pretty mutually give-and-take. He still opens car doors and he took his time dating me. He is not experienced and seems to think a relationship is sustained on one or two days a week of seeing each other. Then he plays video games for hours. He does work a lot and he is taking summer classes so maybe I should let it slide? Truth is he flunked out of an expensive university and now is in community college and his dad has restrictions on him for curfews, studying, even texting or having me over. Apparently my boyfriend really messed up and probably hasn't grown up. Me on the other hand I'm excelling and my gpa went up 5 points this year. College and relationships come naturally. I do love him and I have talked to him and he insists he really likes me and that if there was a problem he would tell me. I have had two talks with him where I have given him a chance to confess problems and he doesn't. I don't think he gets how relationships work as he seemed really inexperienced when we first started dating. We have been dating at the same pace for the entire relationship so I'm just thinking maybe he doesn't need to see me so much. Should I just let him go at his pace and hope that when we both go to university we can have a free and real relationship? I just feel like breaking up would be a mistake. He has done special things like cook me dinner, and supported me... talks to me most nights, and never gets angry with me. I've met his family and friends.
