I agree with CindyCares. If you create a little distance, he will feel that distance, and will be more likely to want to resolve whatever problems he is having, and then get close to you. You don't have to be totally off with him, just try and arrange to do some things with your friends, so you are out enjoying yourself and not stuck at home thinking about him. I think if you push the issue, by trying to fight for him, it might work in the very short term, but he won't feel as if he had to "win" you over. People are attracted to things they have to invest in, so if you make it too easy for him, he won't have that investment and there won't be that attraction. So play it cool, make the most of your time with your friends and doing things for yourself.

he might be sincere about going through a tough time , and he might not ( that's a very classic excuse of males wanting to distance themselves ). When in doubt- do not cling. Do not chase, do not pursue. If he really likes you, he will be back once he has sorted out his problems.
Clinging generally only creates more resistence and more avoidance, of course if you are very persistent , and he's weak willed, you may temporarily "win " the guy, but pretty soon he will resent you for that.
