I've been talking to a guy online for 4 months now. But he's become very distant the last month & im not sure if I should belive his reasons?

He confessed he has feelings for me but I dont want an online/ long distance relationship. So as feelings were growing & intensifying we agreed to just keep things light & have fun. he accepted. Eventually we started talking less but still texted everyday & have our little fun.. it was a healthy change tbh. Allnof a sudden the last 3 weeks he's become very distant. He's goes days without texting me or very little & when I asked him he says he's busy with work & he's sleeping earlier ( we have a 6 hour time difference). Obviously I was cool about it & teased him saying he found a a little girlfriend & said no that he cares about me & he thinks about me all the time even if he doesn't text. Well most recently he disappeared for a week...& then texted me saying he got a bad cold & that he's still recovering. He said that he thought of me everyday & that he felt bad for leaving me suddenly & wanted to catch up, etc. A few days passed then he disappeared again... & now its been 3 days. I text him something funny/check up on him 1-2x every other day because I do care for him too & I do believe him but I want to make sure im not blindly believing him.. because it feels like the last 3 weeks has been building up to this.
