When a guy says "I'll be in touch with you"?

Anonymous
Met a man a month ago. We talked constantly for 2 weeks. Had a first date that was pretty awkward due to my shyness. That very day his ex (from 2 months ago) called him to settle phone issues. He continued speaking to me daily, but kept saying he was down and the conversation wasn't as great, but still good. A week later we had another date. I thought it went very well. He snapped at me one time for being too shy. But otherwise, great conversation and he confided a lot of deep secrets and was flirty, but again his ex called and it seemed to put him in a bad mood. He snapped at her saying he wasn't going to talk to her about it til the next day.. she's still delaying the property issues... he told me that he was doing great until she started calling and that she puts him in a bad mood. At the end of the date he said "I'll be in touch". But he hasn't initiated much communication since and takes forever to reply... he never completely ignores. His replies are blunt, so I stopped texting and calling. Its been about a week with very little. I really liked him so I'm trying to figure out if I'm too shy and he's not interested, if his ex is bothering him (I know for fact they are not together and he won't go back due to a major incident), or he's just not ready... what is your take? His behavior definitely changed after she started calling. But I'm kinda hurt that I got no real explanation, not even saying he's not interested. He has not deleted me off social media and still likes all my stuff, but he does have his ex blocked. The thing is, is he says he tries to be nice to everyone and would remain my friend whether it worked out or not... he said that at the start, even before dates. So maybe he's just being "nice" instead of telling me the truth?
