After 3 dates, didn't make his promise to see me soon

I had dated this guy 12 years ago for two months. His reason, his dad and brother passed away, but he told me that he had a 7-year relationship and ended 4 years ago. He went to plentyofish and dated some women. His last date ended in August 2022. We re-connected in Dec 2021, he invited me to go out with him, but at that time, I wasn’t attracted to him anymore but just get the benefits of going out; he was trying to kiss me but I avoided him. Then, he stopped the messenger contact with me. September 2022, we hiked together, and he started to text me since then, as well sending me pics of his kids and mom and himself, but not intiated to ask me out. February 2023, he offered me a ride to the airport when I went to Mexico. We messaged each other and exchange pics. He asked me out for twice but I declined. I lost my job in Feb 2023, and he asked me out again for an evening dessert. Then, he asked me out again in April for 3 times, until I again developed my feelings with him. He treated me like his Princess, opened the car’s door, removed and put on my jacket, never let me wet by the rain, and took me to expensive and cozy places. Until 3 weeks ago, I asked him if he was ready for a relationship. He said, he was so ready and since about this but will take it step-by-step. I was again attracted to him and wel spent the night together. He took me back home the following day and told me that he will see me soon. He invited me to come with him for a week in LA for his Conference and I declined cuz I was focusing on my startup online business. We messaged each other until he got back in town. He said, he couldn’t see me because his son had a three night hockey game. The following week, I asked him what he was doing, until I learned he paddled at that night. And I told him that if he misses me. He said, yes, but we were both busy and we can see each other when the time comes.

I blew up and I messaged him that something’s going on that didn’t seem right and I could feel in my gut that he was seeing other women.

I blocked him in my messenger and on my phone for a day until he decided to block me too. So, when I learned that he also blocked me, I unblocked him and begged him to start fresh again. He messaged me back that due to drama and emotions, we’d rather stay as friends and to keep it that way. I messaged back that I already moved on and focusing on my startup biz.

But I’m starting to miss him so much. Will he ever come back? Thoughts? On the other note, I wasn’t sure, if he really cheated on me.
