He flirts with me and tells me I'm his favourite person to talk to etc etc...however half way through a conversation on facebook or over text, he just stops replying...as in for days. Longest he left it was a week! Then he replies to what I said as if nothing is wrong, or sends a completely new message. Guys who like you don't leave you hanging that long, do they? I can't tell what his deal is. PS - please leave all your 'call him' and 'go see him face to face' comments at the door as we do engage in that. But rarely. Technology is our main means of communication due to geographical differences. Thanks :)

 Well, to be honest, I do the same thing to this girl that I'm currently talking to. The reason I do it is because I can name over a dozen other things I'm more interested in doing besides texting back and forth with her.
I can spend time studying, hanging with the guys, playing video games or working out, etc. I will say he doesn't find the conversation anything special as he doesn't make moves to keep them going. If he doesn't end it by saying bye or ttyl, then he simple doesn't have any strong desire to communicate with you. He can go days without texting because he doesn't feel as if he's missing out on anything by not talking to you.
Keep in mind, I'm only describing EXACTLY how I feel when I stop texting a girl for long periods of time. I'm simply not interested enough to make advances on her. I could easily wait it out until she decides to be the first one to establish communication again.
Now that I think about it. I wonder if the girl that I'm talking to is feeling the same way you are now? I honestly don't do it to be a jerk or anything. I do it because we've never said or did anything to make eachother think that we're interested beyond friendship.
Are you absolutely sure he fancies you? Are you sure he knows you like him? Maybe he thinks the flirting is nothing but a game so there's no reason to contact often. He doesn't take it serious enough to be constant with it.

 He stops in the middle of a text or online conversation because something else has come along to take his mind and him away from it, and if those conversations are not even important enough for him to refer to next time you and he are exchanging texts etc, guess what, they are not important to him.
Probably the best way to tackle this is head on, next time you SEE him ask him why he keeps leaving conversations dangling.
