I need advice on whether i should move on after 2.7 years

Relationship Advice

I've been talking to this lovely guy for almost 3 years. He broke things off because he was emotionally unavailable and going through depression.

If I'm being honest I never really initiated but whenever he messaged or asked to meet up, I was available to him. We were in some fwb type of thing for the 2 years.

However things got bad last year and he kept ending it over every small thing and I kept telling him I can only put effort in something stable and if he wants something serious but he always says 'go with the flow'

So we started speaking again for the past 7 months and he has been great. He messages me everyday, asks how my day is and we meet up once a month on actual dates. We havent hooked up or done anything in the past 7 months he came back though. I do acknowledge that he has been putting alot of effort

But lately ive been finding myself pulling away because I hoped we'd be dating by now but it doesnt seem so and he's been liking reels like 'when my friends make fun of my love life but I wonder if I'll ever find someone' or just heartbreak reels and it hurts because why is he liking that when I've been sticking by his side for the past 3 years even when he kept ending it

And now he hasn't texted me in days because I guess i was pulling away in texts which was toxic of me. I just need advice on whether i should move on. I did try communicating and asking him what he wanted but he always keeps it vague and I just feel like he's stringing me along as comfort person or just to have someone to talk to, and not as someone he actually wants to be with

And he was the first guy I've been with romantically tbh

I also did unfollow him on Instagram today. He doesnt even have my number after deleting it last time yet i still have his :/
