Why does he do that?

I have an online friend and he's ignoring me.

I don't know why he does these, he said he is spending more time with his family this days and that's why he doesn't reply. I can understand if he is not responding a day or two, but it's been like 5 days and it's always like that. He always replies after 3-6 days and when I try to ignore his messages, I can't.

But the thing is he's such a nice guy and he replies with excitement. I feel so dumb.

by the way, I can see he's online but he doesn't even read the messages

I'm not interested in him in that way. We're just friends, that's all
