Confused

I really like this guy that I've known for over a year and when I bumped into him last february, we starting texting each other. He was very enthusiastic, very forward and very complimentary. I found myself beginning to really like him and enjoy talking to him; he lives about an hour away and I have a pretty busy lifestyle so we don't see each other that much but I always make time to speak to him no matter how busy I am. He was very clingy and would send me texts if I didn't answer in about 5 minutes but I didn't mind because I liked his enthusiasm. It was going well, perhaps a bit too fast for my liking, but I just wanted him to be happy so I'd go along with a lot of things that I wasn't completely comfortable with because I knew that he wanted it. I found myself liking him more and more even though he could be very moody at times and needy. I kind of just saw past that. For the past month, there was a sudden change. He wouldn't reply to my texts so I messaged him on Facebook to ask what was going on- I wanted closure and he said his phone was broken. So I gave him the benefit of the doubt- after all, he hadn't been on snapchat that often when he was usually pretty active on it and even his Facebook, even though he was available on messenger, wasn't that active. I left it a whole month. He never got back to me, so I contacted him again on Facebook asking him to tell me if he was interested or not because if he wasn't, then I would stop trying to contact him and go away. He read it and just didn't reply which really upset me. I'd given him a way out if he wanted one, so why wouldn't he take it? I sent him a prompt saying "seriously" and within 1 minute he had read it and was writing a reply. He said that he was really sorry and he was really busy at the moment, he hadn't been speaking to anyone really and should have more time soon. Oh, and he hoped everything was okay. I don't really know why but I just burst into tears when I read it. Part of me was so happy that he'd finally got back to me and, even better, he hadn't said that he was uninterested. The other part of me was furious with him for deciding to string me along and not answer my question. I just answered with "okay." which he read a minute later and I've had no contact since. I can't stop thinking about him and I don't know what to do. I don't want to message him and inflate his ego because I just seem to be making all the effort but 2 weeks on, I can't get him out of my head and I hate all of this waiting around for him to get back to me. I kinda hope that if I leave it long enough, he will get back to me once he's stopped being so busy at work and get back to me when he's bored. But do I want that? When I think about it, when I asked him if we were in a relationship, he always gave me a really round about answer that never answered my question yet he was always eager to tell me he loved me and that he couldn't think about anyone else but me? It was always really confusing for me. He was pretty sexual too, so I guess maybe that was his motivation to be so nice. I just really like him and I can't stop thinking about him even if whatever we had wasn't particularly healthy. I think I might even love him. I just don't know what to do. I want to know what's going on without seeming needy. I just wish he would let me know what's going on, he's not the kind of guy that would back out of telling someone what they thought. What should I do?

Thanks for your advice. I just don't understand why he didn't take the opportunity to tell me he was uninterested when I asked him? Is it unfair to feel like I deserve complete closure?
