Things got closer, then he vanished
Intimacy retreat
Some people pull back right after getting close — it's fear of intensity. Whether he returns and repairs tells you if it's worth it.

FAQ
More about sudden silence.
Why did he suddenly stop texting me?
Common reasons are fear of closeness, cooling interest, or avoidance after something got real — rarely the random emergency we hope for. DearHim reads the lead-up to tell you the likely cause.
Should I reach out if he went quiet?
One calm message is reasonable. After that, more texts cost you more than they can gain. I'll help you write the one — or decide to send none.
Will he come back if I give him space?
Sometimes, but chasing rarely brings someone back for the right reasons. Space protects your peace either way.
