Should I just cease contact with him?

 l,So I met this guy when I was studying abroad, and we dated for a really short while, like a week because I had to return to my country. So we text sometimes, however every time our convos end with me being left on read. That happened three times. The second time it happened,he had initiated the convo, and last time (the third time), he left me on read again. Should I just forget about him? We live on different continents altogether do I kind of get it since we'll probably never see each other again. I met him at the end of my study abroad period , like two before I had to leave, but we spent every day together and had a great time together.

Do I think he doesn't want to keep contact with me?

Update:

We aren't in a relationship. I guess we're kinda friends?

    Instead of worrying about it.. text him and ask him where the relationship is heading.  Life too short to sit around and wonder about it.  Communication is a great tool.

    Given the circumstances with you being in different countries, I think it would be a bit of a stretch to see him viewing you as being anything more than a friend. With that being said, that is no reason not to contact you. The only explanation for his actions that I can think of is that he at one point had feelings for you but needed to get you out of his head in order to move on. As a result, he determined that the best way of doing this was to cut you out of his life. While this may serve his interests, it does not serve you any good as you are left wondering what is happening. I feel you deserve to know where you stand with this guy. Therefore I would ask him this and if he does not want anything to do with you to let you know so that you can move on. Good luck and I really hope this helps :)

    If he's initiating contact, then it sounds as if he might want to stay in contact.

    However, he might feel obliged to contact you & is secretly hoping all contact will eventually fizzle out. 

    The only way of knowing is to ask him, & even then, he might lie. 

    Actions speak louder than words in these situations. 

    Refrain from contacting him, & maybe don't reply so quickly if he instigates conversation again. 

    If he feels you are pulling away, & still wants to hear from you, he will probably make more of an effort with you. 

    Just bear in mind that this is not necessarily a good thing though. 

    In my experience, if someone wants to be close to you, physically or mentally, they'll make it happen. 

    Good luck.
