Being Completely Cut-Off

Okay, I have a question, pointed more specifically towards boys/men. I had been getting along swell with this man that doesn't live too far from me. We'd been talking for a little over a month, and we had planned on meeting at my first play performance in a couple weeks. This had been settled about a week ago. Well, this weekend I had noticed a change; he seemed more sad, less willing to talk. He blamed it on work, said that he just gets like that from time to time. Then, for a reason I do not know, he completely cut me off! I had grown rather fond of him, he seemed to have grown fond of me...constant text messaging, online chat, et cetera. And he claimed to be really shy, unable to express how he properly felt about a woman (hadn't been in a relationship in years because he couldn't tell when a woman was hitting on him). Well, he opened up to me, I opened up to him...then bam. Nothing, haven't heard from him, but I know he's been online (you know how you can tell from other sites because their status will show). So just one question.

Why would he do that?

I've thought of a hundred scenarios. He lost interest, found another person, that sort of thing...but why couldn't he just tell me that? I mean, I'm the type of person that needs some version of closure and not just left in the complete dark.

So. Any answers out there?

Oh no, I have asked him...once through a message on another site, once through a text, and once over chatting. No reply. Nothing, nada, zero.

Is that seriously all? Nobody else?

Ouch.

I'm too stubborn for that. He cut me out of his life; I chose to cut him out of mine.

Oh well, it happens.

It sounds perhaps like he's a little insecure. He hasn't been with anyone for years, and now you're suddenly in the picture... he probably just psyched himself out a bit too much. Give it time, and hopefully he'll start responding again. I encourage you to not be too defensive and "stubborn" when you don't even know what the whole situation is.
