Is it normal to not know what you want?

I don't think my bf knows what he wants. He is in the middle of establishing himself and believes the right thing to do is to be single. So I understand where he is coming from but at the same time, I think he will come back to me because thats how it's always been. Every time we have separated, he's the one to initiate it yet hes also the one to come back to me. I know this might sound bad but I plan to take him back all the time because I know he doesn't know what he wants and I know what I want. Hes the only one I want to be with and I understand his situation and know that eventually he'll be ready to fully commit to me. Right now its all up in the air cause we're both doing our own things but I have this tremendous faith that we belong together so when he wants to separate, yeah its sad but I know deep inside hes just going through things and isn't mature enough to fully commit to me. For me, I am always going to take him back. I dont know if that makes me look "easy" but regardless, I dont care cause I dont think thats the case. Im already committed to him and rather be single (if we dont end up together) than be with someone else.
