He said he loved me and then ghosted. Wtf?

Anonymous
This guy pursued me hard core, which I responded rather consistently so it wasn't one sided. Then out of the blue he tells me he's falling in love with me. I later realized that it was mutual and the next time he said he loved me (a few days later), I told him I loved him too and that I did want to be with him but I wanted to take it slow. Suddenly he goes from calling and texting consistently to sending me a text or two every few days. He still tells me he loves me, but now he's suddenly too busy for me or always has some sort of "thing" going on either with work or his family or friends. I'm not chasing him, but now I'm wondering if I was two honest with him or if he really only wanted the thrill of chasing me and once I told him where he stood, it was game over. Did I do something wrong?

I want to ask him but I'm almost afraid to because I'm afraid he might think I'm acting needy.
