Why would someone text just to ghost

Hello I'm maybe just being paranoid but tbh I was looking forward to this guy texting me sometime cause I've liked him for a while (someone I've found attractive for quite some time and would like to get to know better) and they replied to a story of mine, we texted a little bit for like a day and then he just... stopped replying?

It's pretty of me to get upset but I'd just like to ask why would someone do that lmao, maybe they didn't expect a reply? maybe I was boring with my replies? Idk I'm curious as to what other guys would say. I normally act very blunt and mean towards people who text me so if karma it's real maybe that's it lol.
