Hello, so I met this guy and we started talking. We gradually got closer, and honestly, it was such a nice experience. He told me he liked me, and I liked him too, so I was really happy. At the same time, part of me was scared because he is genuinely my type, and I kept thinking, “What if this ends differently than I expect”. I asked him about his intentions because I wanted to know where he stood, and he told me he wanted something long-term, which aligned with what I wanted as well. We continued getting to know each other, and the more we did, the more we realised how similar we were. We basically matched in so many ways. We kissed several times, although we weren’t officially in a relationship yet. Everything was going so well like, really well. He even got me a birthday gift, and it was mostly made up of things I had casually mentioned liking at some point and had completely forgotten about. I was over the moon because it showed me that he actually paid attention to the little details. I was genuinely grateful. Then, things suddenly changed. He told me he wasn’t okay but said he would explain later. At first, he would still respond occasionally, but eventually, he stopped picking up my calls. I called several times, and at one point, I told myself that after that particular call, I wasn’t going to call him again. I was even about to block him, but then he called me back. We spoke, and he eventually told me that he had lost someone and had been isolating himself because of it. He apologised, and I understood. I offered to help if he needed anything, and I continued checking up on him. Thankfully, from what I could tell, he seemed to be getting better. At that point, I would say he was probably around 7/10 okay. After that, I didn’t speak to him for a while. Then I told him that I missed him, and he said he missed me too. He eventually came to see me at my office, which made me happy. While we were talking, he told me that he had gotten a new job. I was genuinely happy for him and congratulated him. He also explained that his new job didn’t allow him to have access to his phone, so he wouldn’t always be able to respond. I understood and didn’t have an issue with that. A few days later, we spoke again. I responded to his last message, and then… nothing. He didn’t respond after that. About a week later, I texted him and called him, but he didn’t respond to either. It’s now been almost three weeks, and I haven’t heard anything from him. So I’m honestly confused. I don’t know if I’m supposed to do anything at this point or just leave it alone. Should I consider this ghosting, or should I still take into account everything he told me about losing someone and starting a new job. For context, it’s been about a month and a few weeks since he lost the person, so I don’t know if that’s still enough time to explain his behaviour or if I’m simply making excuses for him because I like him.
