I'm not sure if what I feel and what I did is valid or not. Matter of heart and brain. Need advice.

Well, it's gonna be a long story. Thank you in advance for reading! So, I met this guy last year from a dating application (please don't judge). I was looking for something meaningful and long term. And a profile took my attention. We talk and slowly we started texting each other from good morning text to good night text, nothing romantic but it's all about sharing funny reels and occasionally some deep life talks. It was all good. And he had made it very clear from the start that he is not for anything serious. And told me he had many exes and due to some bad experience, and had seen a lot so now he is dead on emotions and I should not fall for him. He has warned me. Initially I was ok, because we love to talk to, share reels and laugh, the bond grew. He without fail, text me good morning and good night, no matter how busy he is, sometimes checks in between if I had ate, if I am unwell he shows care. These all things slowly unknowingly made me attached to him (even though I know he is not ready for any commitment). It's been more than a year now. And I had asked if his mind has changed about marriage and commitment but he said 'No, it's still the same and he is dead on emotions'. It hurt me but as he made it clear right from beginning I can't complain and I don't like to force anything I believe relationship should be a mutual feeling, so even though it hurts me I went silent, but I don't want to break the bond. So I said, I will be happy by being 'just friends'. We again started sharing reels laughing and rarely random calls. But good morning and good night text is still a permanent thing, he was that caring. But when I show a little care or expect something like meeting in person, he will straight away say 'No'. It hurts a lot. I get affected if he ignores me and mood gets off. I feel bad to confront as well, I don't like to complain much (that's not my nature). But it hurts, I can't ask him for commitment and also can't get involved in daily conversations as it just gives me delusional hopes. And when I'm silent he will reach out, but not ready for any emotional conversation. I feel bad. During this whole time he only met me twice, he is not ready for meet ups as well, he gives excuses that he is busy. But show genuine care when I'm in any situation. It's too hard to understand him, I'm afraid to lose him but again I don't want temporary happiness in my life. So finally, I have stopped responding or sending good morning/good night texts to him, stopped sending him reels. I'm taking break, i do miss him a lot, but I don't know where I stand in his life. He reached out to me again, saying why are you silent. This time I said, "I am silent to process things that affect me. " He then reacted with a : "👍"

Now please help me understand, what should I do? I genuinely cared and tried to understand him, but he is not ready to open up. He even says he has been with many girls before. But with me he is very nice, sweet, mature man. I feel, what did I do? Why always I have to understand others situation? What is this type of behavior? Why get I unlucky in love once I get attached. Any suggestions or advice please 🙂
