How would you read this situation?

So I (29F) started seeing this guy (28M) about a month ago, the first week vibes were really great, we hung out quite a bit and we even did a few things as a group with his friends. Then he was going on a trip with his friends a few weeks ago and the day before he left we sorta joked at us not talking to other people and that we mutually like each other, no specific labels or anything though. We hung out once after he got back, then we was super busy with the holiday weekend (which totally fine).

Going into the busy weekend we had tentative plans to hang out Monday to watch the USA game just no official set plan other than agreeing hey would be really nice to see you and I'm hoping you stay the night. Come Monday and I didn't hear from him at all and was hoping he'd text first as he's been a bit MIA and I'm starting to feel a little overbearing. We originally planned to watch just us two, but with the lack of hearing from him I tentatively made plans with some friends who reached out wanting to watch with me. Given I was would like to see him, I eventually caved and texted first and was like 'so..?' and eventually told him my plan and he was like ok cool I should be able to join.

Now, the whole game passes, not a word from him. I obviously fire off a 'yknow you can just say you aren't interested anymore text' to which he replies that he is sick and bent over the toilet. I felt a bit bad being harsh, but couldn't he have at least sent a quick 'hey I ended up getting sick' text? I ended up telling him sorry he got sick but also I'm a bit bummed here cause I was really looking forward to seeing him. Since then he hasn't been all that chatty with me, which I can't tell if it is because he is sick or becoming uninterested. I reached out to see how he was feeling and joked I can just be silent if you'd prefer that to which he responds 'I never want that, you know that'.

But here we are, no plans, we haven't texted at all the last couple of days, I feel like I'm over here twiddling my thumbs waiting for something and I don't want to be the one to initiate plans or conversation. I really like the guy and just can't tell where to go from here. I kinda want to pop back on the dating apps, I just feel if I did that and he realized, that might end things between us (if there's anything still there) and I definitely don't want that.
