Does he really mean it or is he lying?

I think you know the answer already...

you will know it when you are together. hun if he really loves you, then he wouldnt push it

If he really loves and cares about you, he would respect you and your feelings. Like unprotected lover said, he wouldn't push it if he truly loved you.

sorry to break it to you, but u r sooo contradicting urself. that makes no sense. u just said

'but all i want him to do is stop trying everytime he goes to kiss me ...'

then wat does that mean? No sweetheart he doesnt respect you, if he did and if u felt he did then u wouldn't have put the post in the first place.

You asked if he means what he says.

His actions would speak louder than his words. Whether he really means what he tells you depends a lot on how he treats you in general and how considerate he is of your feelings. You don't mention anything about that. Is your relationship fun, exciting and romantic or is it all about him trying to have sex with you? You say that that he tries to push things when you guys start making out. That is a pretty common practice with most guys. Maybe you should read up about the meaning of boundaries in a relationship and then let him know just where you draw the line between what is and what is not acceptable in your relationship.

agreed with blue water. i mean when my bf trys to do something and its going to far, i tell him and he says sorry and doesn't do it again. i mean if u've had to tell him more than once already well then wat does that seem like?
