I know i’ve been lovebombed but am stuck on him

I met a guy,on an online dating app. He immediately asked my whatsapp and we moved off the app and started only communicating via whatsapp. Red flag, I know.

Up until the first date, we would whatsapp everyday. He would initiate contact the majority of the time and liked to talk about our future e.g wanting 5 kids, which country I wanted to relocate to etc. He would also compliment me a lot, saying he can’t stop thinking about me, never felt this way before, did I put a spell on him etc etc.

Near the end of first date, he said he wanted to meet up again the next day since the first date had gone so well. We agreed to meet again the following day but didn’t set a time. I told him to give me a call the next day to confirm the time.

The next day comes and goes with no call from him. After 4 days of no contact from him, I finally send him a message. He said there was an emergency at work and he was completely swamped. I believed him as he owns his own business and is a workaholic, typically working 16-18 hours a day.

He asked if i would be free for a date the next day. The second date takes place at a seaside area. There are a number of wedding venues dotted around the area and he makes it a point to point them out to me, even asking me what country i see myself getting married in. During this date, we kiss but there is no other intimacy.

He sends me a text later that evening saying he enjoyed spending time with me. I sent one back saying I also had a good time but he doesn’t text further. The next day, I ask him if he is free to catch up over the weekend.

I don’t hear back at all. I wait for 5 days, and on the 3rd December, send him a text along the lines of “I enjoy spending time with you and would like to see where this connection goes, but need better communication. If you’re not interested in pursuing this, I respect that and wish you the best”. He left me on read but does not block my number. It’s been 14 days of no contact.

Writing this makes it painfully clear ive been lovebombed and swiftly ghosted. My head is telling me to leave this alone and move on but there is a tiny part of me that hopes he will come back. Would greatly appreciate honret advice and brutal honesty please!
