Should I reach out after he distanced himself?

Anonymous

Met a guy on a dating app, we talked for about 3 weeks before it worked for us to meet up. We went out to dinner and went back to his place after. We hooked up & I went home. We texted the next couple of days (exchanged 1-2 texts and he said he had a good time.) on Monday he asked me what my plans were for the week (I was assuming we would hang out again) but then responded with “work is going to be keeping me busy til the end of the year.” I responded “okay lol I can take a hint” but he didn’t even read my message for another 24+ hours. Meanwhile his snap score went up by 100. I was upset so I just said “I’m not into being disrespected.” He then said “I never disrespected anyone. I didn’t respond to you for one day.” I just said it was fine it was just my expectation that you communicate after hooking up. I don't know what went wrong here or who was in the wrong. I really like this guy, I’d still see him again. Was I wrong for what I said or was I legitimately being ghosted? The more I think about it, it’s possible he’s just been busy. The whole thing just left me feeling used. But after this I’m kind of at a point where I’d be okay casually hooking up if that’s what he wants. I want to reach out as stupid as it sounds but I don’t want to seem desperate. I just genuinely felt like we had chemistry
