Did he meet someone else?

I get how it may sound to you but He doesn't feel like a stranger to me...we may have never met in person offincally but we have connected on facetime a few times. 

Anyone who won’t meet for a quick cup of coffee to check one another out within a week or two is at best a waste of time, at worst grooming you to fall in love with your ‘connection’ electronically so he can raise an urgent matter that presents a delay. Even if they don’t ask outright, the hope is you might offer to help—in order to avoid losing your ‘connection’.

It’s not a connection, it’s not even dating material—it’s a fantasy.

Dating is about screening people out, not trying to get someone to fit. The only real simpatico is a great match in person and with someone local enough to make regular dating simple. That’s how you get to know someone over time in the real world.

Head high, and set up a few quick meets over coffee each week on your way home from work. Keep these short, and agree beforehand that neither can invite the other for a real date on the spot, but either can invite the other afterwards. If the answer is yes, the other responds, if not, then no response is necessary. This avoids squirmy rejections and lets you keep moving on to meet the next one.

It's really easy to generate these "connections" online.  People do it kind of as a hobby ... people who are not really going to do anything in real life.  They might be married, catfishing, or just gathering some ego strokes.  

As everyone is telling you here, you need to meet in person or it's a fantasy game.
