The best person to ask is him. Men are less picky about sexual partners than you think. First time sex can be a nervous experience for him too. He's had sex but he has to worry about how you feel, the blood, the awkwardness. If his ex was a virgin too maybe he had an unpleasant experience that makes him want to delay that with you.
A second possible problem is where to do it. For teenagers sex is almost always a sneaky, taboo thing to do. They have to wait till parents aren't home and even then, they don't feel right doing it under parents' roof. Although he wants to do it in the back of his mind he thinks it's not a great idea. People also have the habit of fantasizing it and not do it in real life. Maybe he just wants to be able to talk about it and hear you say you want to do it. Doesn't mean he's really ready.

It could have been a cruel "test" to see if you'd go along with his desirs. I think it was a silly way to approach the whole subject and my advice would be to find a more mature young man to give your virginity up to preferable the one you marry. (old school talking there).
