Relationships

Guys, Getting mixed signals, what should I do?

I met this man online a while ago, it was in a larger group setting. Eventually we started talking on a professional level, but the professional talks started relaxing into casual and friendly, we started calling each other everyday and lingering in long silences when it was time to hang up, and this was a very loud and loaded silence. Eventually we made charged jokes rather than the light and cute types. And then the charged air finally opened up the bottled passion that we'd been tip toeing around, and we spent time together as a long distance couple for 3 weeks. But one day he pulled away saying it was too much and he wanted us to go back to just friends but every conversation we had would seep with romantic feelings. Which would cycle him back to "this is too much". And we'd had a massive argument due to the mixed back and forth and I'd had moments where I'd fantasize about him romantically and I'd let something slip but then backpedal and apologize for crossing the boundary he'd ask me to maintain. But we finally had a falling out where I said "if I'm too much why do you keep texting me?" And two days later I told him I was sorry but not because I wanted to set things right, I told him that no matter what we try to do I'm drawn in and it's too hard for me to stay platonic. But he's often silent and I have him pinned as a fearful avoidant. I avoid labeling him because dislikes that. I am in love with him to be clear, but this is very new, fast burning. And I'd have thought if he didn't feel something he wouldn't have apologized for the intense way we bonded then blew up, and furthermore we're still in the same online groups and social circles. Why does he stay near me through all of highs and lows, but won't actually reach out and speak or hang out like the "just friends" he wanted us to stay, but he's not leaving, he's just silent and distant?
