Does he like me or not?

I met this guy on an online dating site, we've met once. So, he texts me daily, like literally every early morning I wake up to a 'good morning honey' text followed by a few talks in between and occasional goodnights. Thing is, it's always just small talk and a few endearing words(from him) ..and I'm tired of it,i mean i don't want to get too emotionally involved if he's not so into me. I really like him ...I feel like if he wanted something more he'd try to get to know me,plus I cannot come across as needy. Unfortunately we can't meet as he's now out of the country. what do you think about this situation ? Thanks.
