<human>: Been talking to this guy [34/m] since end of August. Early on we admitted we liked each other but will be cautious since  we have both been hurt in past relationships. We texted everyday throughout the day and he would call once in a while. I thought things may progress and didn't look at the red flags early on to see he was never really that into me:
- I would always have to suggest hanging out
-When I would ask him how he feels about our relationships, he would say "It's too bad we are both so busy. I think things would have been different if we lived in the same city"
-Would not go out of his way to see me

I recently asked him if we can see more of each other. I was even willing to go visit him in his town. He was completely against it and admitted he isn't as invested into this as much as I was. Over the last few weeks, he has started to take hours in between texting back. He does initiate some texting though. He no longer calls me. 

A part of me is upset that he bothered to be in my life (he was the one who chased me) if he never thought serious of me.
My two questions are: 
Why did he bother with me? For casual fun? 
How do I handle this gracefully?

Could you distill the essence of the text into 1-3 sentences?
<bot>: Guy (34/m) was never into girl (28/f). Guy is now distancing himself. Girl needs to make sense of it all and handle this gracefully.
