My boyfriend keeps ignoring me.

I'm a (m18) and my boyfriend (m19) are in a long-distance relationship. This is my first time writing something like this, so I apologize if it’s a bit confusing. My boyfriend, let's call him Zack, and I have been together for 9 months, and overall, things have been good. However, every few weeks, he goes quiet or becomes distant through texts. He doesn’t share what’s bothering him, yet he continues to chat with his friends. I’m beginning to worry that I might be too needy or clingy, which has caused issues in past relationships. He always reassures me that he doesn’t mind and even finds it cute. Recently, I've started to suspect he might be cheating. A few days ago, he mentioned that during one of his periods of ghosting me, another girl showed interest in him. They exchanged Discord information and revealed their faces, but he only stopped communicating with her because he found her "ugly." He told me this months later, and now I'm left wondering what if he just said that. He often claims he’s 70/30 in terms of his attraction between genders since he’s bi and prefers women. What if she wasn’t unattractive to him after all? He has mentioned that I'm a "one-time thing" and if we were to break up, he’d likely seek older partners. Plus, he’s hinted that a few friends of his have been hitting on him again. Maybe I’m being overly sensitive, but I can't shake the feeling that he might be cheating on me or losing interest.
