Why is my guy friend suddenly ignoring me?

Anonymous
We've been pretty good friends for about a year. We did meet on tinder after i went through a devastating break up. We flirted for a couple of months before I came clean and told him I wasn't ready to started dating and we agreed bc we got along great to still be friends. We give each other advice when it comes to casual lovers or potential serious partners that always seem to fall through. Ever since I got over my ex, I've realised that maybe he shouldve been a slower yes rather than a quick no... I do find him attractive but i dont really know how he feels about me on that level. He did admit he has a "type" of girl he prefers and im definitely not it... lately we've both been way too busy to keep in contact but he's always made contact to tell me about his day or week... i told him i missed him and cared for him, and i got a very sweet response he yelled AWWWWWWW... and it sounded like he really appreciated it. ever since then it seemed like we were getting pretty close, and then he backed away... i haven't heard much from him... he says its only bc he's busy but even then i still get the jist that somethings wrong... we do jokingly flirt and have the entire friendship... and I don't know im beginning to wonder maybe i did something wrong... he seems like a pretty straight forward guy too which is weird. i feel like he would have told me if he wasn't into me... but I don't know what to do other then give him space and wait for him to come to me, but a opinions on whats happening would help ease the nerve
