Im in my late 20’s this man is in his early 30s. I am pretty sure he has dismissive avoidant disorder and deep depression (no judgement at all but it was just difficult long distance and I don’t think he knows he has these problems aside from depression which he didn’t tell me about I could just tell)

A man and I were talking for some months. Towards the end I felt I was putting more effort in and the distance was getting hard. So I politely said this won’t work out and I’d like to call so we can talk about it and there may be a chance to save it maybe. He said we can call but he can see where the convo is going to go. When I asked the next day to confirm the time for the phone call he ghosted me. I sent him a second message a couple days later saying we can stay friends and message each other on occasion + that I’m always there for him if he needs me and he ghosted that too. However he religiously watches all my Snapchat stories and I post quite a bit (I post daily almost). We also promised we would be straight up and not ghost one another some months ago but when do people do what they say 🤷🏼‍♀️

He’s very stoic in a sense and I could tell from the minute he pursued me that he was in depression. He’s a dismissive avoidant attachment style (not diagnosed but he’s at least 85% of the traits) and I can tell he’s shy and quiet since the time he first messaged me but this isn’t necessarily a turn off for me since everyone has their demons. He pursued me in the beginning and was very consistent for a while. It started to drop and I started to initiate more but he was very responsive and enthusiastic still. I called it off because we haven’t met yet (too much distance between us) and I felt I was doing all the work to keep things going. We were suppose to meet in a couple weeks and he was going to fly over to a state I was going to, but it seemed like an empty promise since I don’t think he ever booked the flight (idk why he can’t saying he’s not coming though I told him he shouldn’t feel pressured at all if he can’t, it’s completely fine and I know it’s asking for a lot but he still kept saying he could do it, he never seemed to ever say no to me and I found the whole yes man personality to be a turn off but I overlooked it). So anyways, I have other options and a busy life of my own so I decided to cut it, but I still wanted to be friends because he was really sweet and he just reminds me a lot of my dad. Just wish I could tap into his mind, maybe he was just not interested later. Can’t rule that out either! But why hasn’t he unfriended me? I haven’t because I don’t mind the friendship but he ghosted everything so….? 

**tl;dr**: I obviously am missing out minor details of his personality and our interactions because the post would be too long but that’s the overall jist ^^ just wondering if it’s likely that this conflict avoidant man will ever reach out. I don’t want to date him anymore but I want to be his friend.
