Quarantine Romance??

So I started speaking to this guy at the start of isolation and we were talking for 3 weeks, it was very clear we were both romantically interested in each other. He lives a good 3 hours away from me so that was somewhat of a problem but he mentioned his ex lived further away from me so distance wasn’t a problem. Things were going well but we were meant to call 3/4 times but each time I brought it up he’d either find an excuse and the final time he said yes and then disappeared and we haven’t spoken since, it’s been 5 days. I know he’s watching my stories on social media but he hasn’t messaged me or even come up with a reason as to why after saying he would, disappeared. His lack of effort was always a bit of a red flag and obviously I don’t expect anyone to know what’s going on inside his head. I just assume he’s lost interest and it’s a shame because I still like him but I don’t understand how he can go from really liking me to not talking- I haven’t messaged him either but that’s mainly because I’m still a bit annoyed. By the way it’s not because he’s a catfish because I know for a fact he’s a real person. What should I do? Should I leave it and move on, wait for someone that will return the effort I’ve shown or should I try and work things out with him somehow?
