Does he just need time?

I met him when he still had a girlfriend, but we had an instant connection. Months later we started hanging out, this was only a couple weeks after him and his ex broke up. We talked daily, and hung out several times a week. I even met his daughter (and he said that was a big deal for him.) In addtition to the great sex, we watched movies, played outside with his kid, and just had fun doing nothing together. After a couple of weeks, he asked where I saw this relationship going, and I said I really like hanging out with him, and told him how much I like him. He said he felt the same, but it was really too soon for him to get involved in another relationship. I told him I understood, and I wasn’t going to pressure him into anything. He still called me and text me nice things. We still hung out and had a great time together for the next couple weeks.

After week 4, the phone calls stopped coming from him as much, I had to call first. And the texts weren’t “hey sexy” it was “hey whats up” instead. And the plans were always me asking him to hang out, and pretty much inviting myself over to his house! He would say he wanted to hang out but then wouldn’t call me until late that night, and by that time I was already asleep or had made other plans.

By week 5 we only hung out once a week, and if I didn’t text/call him first, I wouldn’t hear from him at all. I never pressured him or acted possessive. I never asked him where he was or who he was with, so I know I wasn’t being ‘to girlfriend-like’ but I don’t understand what happened. We had such a great connection and he said so on several occasions! He said each time we hang out he likes me more and more, but in the same week he would remind me he’s not ready for a relationship…

We haven't really talked or hung out in a couple of weeks. I'm thinking it was too much - to fast, and he got scared.

Could he really like me as much as he claims but really need time to be single and get over his ex? I'm hoping he'll contact me once he's over her so we can try something
