Am I being ghosted? When do you accept you’ve been ghosted?

To give some background information, I (27F) matched with a guy on a dating app almost two months ago. Our conversation was flowing great and we exchanged numbers pretty quickly. I told him from the beginning I am just starting to date again, and wanted to take things slow / talk a bit before meeting up and he was very understanding of it. Things seemed great! We had a lot of common interests, he seemed genuine, honest and interested.

After about 2-3 weeks of texting we planned a date but unfortunately I had a death in my family and the arrangements were the same day. Our schedules conflicted a bit and he lives about an hour away from me so we rescheduled for another 2 weeks out. During this time again conversation was great he was attentive, we texted daily and talked on the phone a few times a week. He made some comments about liking me and looking forward to going on dates. He even mentioned meeting my family (to which I obviously said way too soon-now thanking myself for this lol).

A few days before our rescheduled date, he texted me that he got into a car accident and totaled his car. After that he was a bit distant so I obviously assumed no date and tried to just give him his space. When he got back to me, he said he was sorry he’s been distant he had a lot going on and been a bit depressed but he does really like me and he “doesnt want me to think it’s me”. I replied saying I understand you’re dealing with stuff and I hope everything is okay etc.

Since then we’ve kept in contact but he’s still been distant. Less text messages, one or two days no messages. Haven’t talked on the phone since the accident. Convo is more surface level etc. This past weekend I was doing an escape room with friends and he said “that should be us”! Earlier this week he didn’t get back to me for like over 24 hours and when he finally did I said hey I know you’re dealing with a lot but I feel things are getting quite distant between us. It’s been difficult to get to know each other cause we don’t chat as much / when we do it’s surface level. Just wanted to voice my feelings because communication is important to me. I got no response! After two days I reached out once more and said “May I ask what happened?” And again nothing

So I obviously now believe I was probably love bombed and ghosted but I haven’t dated in half a decade so I don’t really know how dating works anymore. I will not be reaching out again even though it’s so tempting to be like wtf is wrong with you lol why say half the things you did just to ghost. I can handle the truth whatever that may have been 🤷‍♀️

Anyways, after how long do you accept you’ve been ghosted? Do I remove him from social media? Block his #? Sorry for the lengthy post, thanks to whoever stayed!
