I agree with Lyz and Adrian. It seems like a recurring pattern, but, as Lyz suggests, before you decide whether or not to continue with the relationship, I think you will benefit from asking him outright what gives. Keep us posted.

Have you asked him why he keeps flaking out on you. It seems that the moment you plan on moving your relationship forward he freaks out and backs out. If he can't talk to you openly and honestly about what is troubling him you need to decide how long you can handle his indecisiveness.

It seems like a reocurring pattern of excuses for him not to come see you or you not to move in together. It's probably best to take that as a sign that the long distance relationship is not working out. In order for it to work both partners have to put in an equal amount of effort and that's clearly not what's going on here.
