pretty positive i'm being blown off

i know i have been a mess over this situation with this guy, but i'm pretty much ready to move on now. I had talked to him last Tuesday, that was the conversation where he randomly said we were casually dating. It was a good conversation and he said hopefully we'd be able to hang out soon (he's 3 hours away) For the first month that i met him we talked basically everyday. Over xmas he went out of the country and he even called me everyday. Then when he went back to where he lives he told me he couldnt call everyday and hoped i wouldnt be upset-understood. No he is not dating anyone else. I thought maybe we'd talk every other day, but that's not happening. After we talked tues i didnt hear from him, wed, thurs or friday. On satuday i went out, then i got home at 4pm-still no call. I knew he was going to nyc that weekend but how hard is it to call to say hi or at least send a text saying hi. So i sent him a text. I said, hi how are you? He wrote back pretty quick. He said, hi, i'm in nyc, it's snowing here, i'm doing good, hope you r too. I guess i was hoping for a, i'll call you soon. So i write back, that's nice, no snow here yet. He didnt respond. I started to feel frustrated. A few minutes later i wrote back, so i guess we're going to be talking once a week? He writes back, ok. This made me more annoyed. I wrote back, i just dont operate this way. He writes back, ok. At this point i was mad at lack of caring so i wrote back, obviously you dont give a damn, you're probably relieved. No response. then i called him, no answer. I just left a message that said, hi it's liz, give me a call when you get a chance. then i write, ball's in your court if you want to talk, i've put myself out there enough. then i feel like an idiot for what just happened and write, sorry for the thigns i just said, i dont want to be on bad terms with you.

In my mind i pretty much write him off and tell myself he's not worth it, he doesnt care for me the way i care for him and to just let him go, there are other guys out there that will pay more attention and who actually care about my feelings.

so i'm thinking i will never hear from him again or at least for a few weeks, but he calls the next day. I answered and immediately apologized. He basically said that he wasnt sure what had happened or what he had said to upset me. He said, we were exchanging some texts adn all of a sudden i started getting mad ones from you, i was in a cab with other people and i couldnt really get into it. I told him that when he responded, ok, i took this as, whatever. he says, well i guess at the time that is what i meant. he said he was 'indisposed.' I just kind of laughed it off and we changed the subject. We talked for about 20 minutes. he was figuring out how he was going to get home. There was nothing extraordinary about the conversation. he said he just wanted to call me back because he didnt want me festering with anger. He said that if he was there he'd shovel out my car for me (Snowed a lot here). when we hung up he just said, talk to you soon.

I just feel that he is really backing off from me, but doesnt want to be on bad terms. I am so tired of waiting and wondering when he'll call...he confuses me. Casually dating means once or two phone conversations a week? Screw this, I dont need this. It hurts because i think about him all the time, but he is obviously not thinking about me. He only calls if i've texted/called him. i mean he went 3 days with out contacting me, and only responded when i'd texted him. I need more than this.

So what do you think, is he nicely trying to blow me off?
