I'm quoting this part because I think this is where some of the problems lie. In insecurity.
If he always has valid reasons, and always calls to let you know he won't be making it, why does it hurt? He has the courtesy to call, AND has a valid reason - how many men twice his age can accomplish that? Not many.
At 23 years old, he's not as established as you are - in work, in relationships and in life. He requires latitude. He's starting to make his way in life. You should be happy that he wants to spend some of his free time with you and not run out to bars, do drugs, sleep with the easy girls and skip work/school and his responsibilities.
Love him, let him love you, let him be 23 and don't try and push him into the mold of an older man.
Don't try so hard. You should be having the time of your life.
