I deleted a talking stage number because he didn't text back, did I overreact?

I matched with this guy on hinge two weeks ago and from the beginning he told me how attracted he was to me and that he wanted to meet me. He's visiting my country but was in another city at the time but he asked to meet me the moment he got to my city. And just because of the fact that he's just visiting I knew this is something that was going to be short term but we have a good connection and great chemistry. On the app he told me that he's not really looking for something long term, I said "cool I'm not expecting to meet my husband here anyway".... Then on the first date he asked me again what it is I'm expecting from him I told him I'm just going with the flow because this is the first date I'd had since I broke up with my ex a year ago so I'm just trying to enjoy myself and what not. But the problem is this became something he'd ask every time we met and the last time I saw him on Tuesday he asked me that question again and I gave him the same response, he had invited me to watch a match with him at his home and we were laying on the couch, when I glanced at his phone he had just had a conversation with someone on hinge but anyway I continued minding my business. When it was time for me to leave he told me "see you when I see you" and I just laughed at it. When I got home and texted him to tell him I got home safe he said "thank you for coming, see you soon"

We didn't really talk much from that day but in the other week prior to meeting he texted me every day and even after meeting he texted me everyday until Tuesday, I've found myself initiating a conversation twice and he took too long to respond. This morning he asked me what my plans were for the day (which is something he'd ask before he tells me he wants to see me) but just went quiet the whole day. I still haven't heard from him. Plus I've come to the conclusion that this casual dating/ short term thing is not for me. I didn't want to see my texts waiting on delivered so I just deleted the chat thread and his number. Did I overreact? And if he texts me back should I respond? Or just keep it moving?
