falling off the face of the earth

So I don't get this syndrome that certain boys have, at all. Recently, I was sort of kind of seeing a guy, as in we would talk daily, went on a date (tried to set up others but I was a sickling). This guy would text me to the point where I found it annoying.. I replied every now and then, but he was total overkill. I contemplated ditching him, but realized I do that all the time and maybe I should just embrace the fact that he likes to talk to me.

So I reply, and then I get used to his constant texts and communication. I'm at home sick, it's entertaining for me, so I reply, and sometimes I text him a few times without reply. He eventually will, and all is well.

Until randomly on Sunday, all the texts stop. Monday... nothing. No responses to my texts.. nothing. Today? Nothing..

I'm not phased because I was in love with this guy (honestly, felt a bit like a rebound from him), but the fact that he all of a sudden ups and ignores me after I was already annoyed with him brings out the whole hard to get mind game shit, and it BOTHERS me. No event happened, last text I received was in the middle of the night from him on a Saturday night, so it's not like he's all of a sudden banging some chick.

I see this happen to a lot of my girlfriends, and has even happened to me before this.

Another one into the random abyss? Why can't I know what the fuck happened?

Update: Boy contacted me, says he can't keep up with me. That's what I get for being open minded and seeing past his AWFUL jacket and even more horrible shoes.
