The love bombing you on the date is likely unintentional overkill from trying to hook up with you. The subsequent distance is likely due to his failure to hookup with you.
I suspect guys who do this are messaging multiple girls and trying to sweet talk them all into bed, this is likely why he comes back after distance.
A guy who genuinely likes you will want to be chatting with you everyday and won't run if he doesn't get to hookup.

I don't give people effort if they aren't willing to do the same. Makes it real easy.

Depends on how you responded to his love bombing. But it seems like they want something quick and easy and move on when it's not possible with you, if this is a day 1 to day 2 situation.
But if the decline is more gradual, look at who is keeping the conversation going, asking questions, writing more. If only one is doing it all, the other person clearly isn't as interested. If both show lessened interest, then it's just that the connection isn't as strong.Do you text him or only wait for him to first? Because women tend to do this, and the message it give us when you do it is that YOU aren't interested enough, so we back off (sometimes, depending on the guy). So it's either that, or he's simply not that interested to begin with? Maybe dating others as well? Don't make assumptions, but also trust your gut instinct. Don't over think it though. Just move on if you don't feel he's interested enough.
Have you tried acting you're interested in talking to him by putting in the effort to text him yourself? That phone works both ways.
Might just have adhd, out of sight out of mind. Soo, make sure to see him often.
Be outgoing an engaging. Maybe he just hates texting?
Same reason women do it. You're exhibiting too many red flags.
