Why would someone say all of those things and then just sort of disappear?

Question - (9 November 2009) 1 Answers - (Newest, 9 November 2009)
A female United States age 41-50, anonymous writes:

This guy and I dated for a few months, then he moved away, and we decided to be "just friends." I am fine with that. We had become very close in a short period of time, and we have a very special friendship, or so I thought (not FWB, if that's what you're thinking). I was in between jobs a few months ago and he, along with a few others, persuaded me to move to his city because the job opportunities for my field were more numerous than in the city in which I currently lived.

I moved out here about a month or so ago. As soon as I did, he emailed and called me, telling me how excited he was that I was in the same city. We hung out a few times, during which he told me how incredibly glad he was that I was around, and that I was the only person in the city that he felt comfortable talking with, that he felt so alone, etc.

Flash forward to now. He hasn't contacted me to hang out for about two weeks now, or even really to ask how I was doing. Other than random texts and social networking page comments, I haven't heard from him.

Why would someone say all of those things and then just sort of disappear? I asked him if he wanted to do something one day last week and he said that he already had plans, and did not suggest another day. Should I just chalk him up to being a bad friend and move on, or what?

My thought is that he's met some girl and that he's doing the notorious "guy friend ditches female friend for new chick" thing, which tends to happen to me a lot with guy friends. :-/
