<human>: So I've been talking to this guy since February, and we have been dating since the beginning of June. It's kind of a complicated situation and we only really get to see each other once a week. 

We used to text every day, throughout the day, and it would alternate who would initiate it. A few weeks ago he went on vacation with his family, and ever since he got back he hasn't initiated texting. We still had been talking pretty normally up until about a week ago at which point he started to become really short and again, hasn't initiated anything.

At this point, I'm just sitting around waiting for him to text me. I don't want to come across as desperate or clingy by texting him all the time, but I really do like him and feel differently about him than I ever have anyone else. 

I am leaving for school in a few weeks and we decided to not put a label on anything and keep doors open because he doesn't want me to not be able to experience things while I'm at school and end up resenting him. A couple friends have suggested that maybe he's doing this to make it easier on me when I leave for school, because he is aware of my feelings towards him. 

Can anyone offer some advice for why he might be doing this, what i should do, how long I should wait before just cutting my loss and moving on, and how to shake this anxious, want-to-cry-every-five-minutes feeling that I have in the pit of my stomach?

Can you provide a brief overview of the text?
<bot>: the guy i've been talking to since February and dating since the beginning of June has gotten increasingly distant lately, and I can't stop thinking about it and getting really upset by it.
