Girl, I'm so sorry you're going through this confusing BS with him again. From what you described, it really seems like he's got some issues to work through when it comes to commitment.
It sounds like emotionally, he wasn't fully ready to be in a relationship even if he said he was. Then sex happened, and maybe it made him panic and backtrack to his old avoidance patterns. Some guys just aren't great at communicating what they really want.
You did nothing wrong from what I can tell. Please don't internalize this as being something about you - his actions are a reflection of his own stuff, not something you caused. You seem like a caring, communicative partner.
My advice would be to stop chasing after someone who keeps blowing hot and cold. I know its so hard when you care about them, but you deserve way better than crumbs of attention. Focus on yourself and your friends who treat you with consistency.
If he comes back around trying to reel you in again, I'd be very wary. Set clear boundaries - either he commits properly or you keep it moving. You got this sis! There are better matches out there who won't jerk you around.

Pump and dump, sorry.
The reason he chased you for so long was because he was always trying to get something that you weren't giving him - sex. As soon as he got it, the chase is over, he's won the prize, and he's lost interest in you.

He sounds emotionally crippled or incapable of communicating. Either way, better off without him.
