What changed his texting?

Almost a year ago I cancelled on a first date with someone I met on a dating because I felt like our dating communication style was off. He wasn’t a bad guy, but it just didn’t seem compatible. We decided to stay friends. I messsged him once in a while to just see how’s life and how he’s doing. Usually he’s quick to respond. Recently he told me his dating life is just “going” but not much dates due to the girls. He asked if we can try again and how he didn’t get a chance to show the real him. He said we are very similar in morals and perspective, which is true. I expressed concern on romantic communication incompatibility, but he say he will be himself and be more forward. I told him I’m nervous but will be open. He was flirty and open after. The next day he didn’t messaged me and later said he was at the hospital with a Snapchat pic he’s at hospital to visit his brother ex gf’s son with his family. I told him I’m here anytime and will give them space. He hasn’t messaged me since 1.5 day I would say. But I noticed his Snapchat score is going up aka he’s exchanging photos and videos on there.

Why changed his style of communication? Is it me? Was he not authentic? I’m confuse. It’s disappointing.

Before anyone say don’t date anyone on dating apps, it’s not a dating app question. It’s just on his changed of communication…
