ARAB boy who played with my heart.

I've known this boy from dubai for about 7 months now. He was always trying to flirt with me and I would just ignore it because he was my friends friend and that made me feel weird.

About a month ago he finally convinced me to go out on a date with him. We went on a few and it was great, we fooled around a little but I told him I would not have sex with him. He would whisper in my ear how much he liked me while we were out in public. He's smart; handsome, young (20yrs old), speaks 5 languages, and drives a nice car. We spent days doing fun outings and dancing. He wanted to take me to mexico on a trip. When we were about to book it we realized that my passport had been expired. So he said then hawaii or we would wait for my new passport. When I would go over to his friends, he called me his girl and everyone already knew who I was. In my head I was thinking this is great, finally a guy who I actually like, likes me back. But nothing my friend is too good to be true. I personally like to think that I am a great catch. I'm funny; outgoing, a freaking model, genuine, and not stuck up. But it always seems to be my luck to be used and used by guys either to make someone else jealous or to just get a piece of bum. So I keep this in mind, for years now keeping my gaurd up and not showing any true emotions. Finally I decided to open my heart a little and show some affection back to my little Dubai boy. He was always doing the same to me so I'd grab his hand and kiss him randomly. Nothing major right.

He wanted to take me to the desert a couple days ago so we raced out with his friend and his girlfriend. In the back of my head I was slightyly wondering if this was some sort of "secret trip with hoes" thing. I dismissed the thought. Throughout the trip he kept on telling how much he really likes me and how he's never had a girl friend but he wants me to be with him. TOO GOOD. I said yes. That night we were drinking and he wanted to get extra close to me and I let him. I tried to say we should wait but it was too late and I opened all of my vulnerablilty to him because it felt so right. After we finished he told me he thinks I'm even hotter. The next two days were the same and everything was wonderful. He had broke his phone on the trip and on saturday when we got home he said that he would get ahold of me somehow. For two days he never tried reaching me and yesterday when he did he called to say that he just got his phone back and has been busy. Today we were going to hangout but he cancelled and told me he was too busy but later we could go for dinner. Dinner came around and I waited for his call. Finally I text asking what he was doing. He replied with, "I just finished eating now writing a paper. wbu?". I was getting ready to go for dinnder with him. I feel so stupid right now because I don't know how to react. I'm confused because I don't know if he's actually as busy as he says or maybe I'm not a challenge to him anymore and he's totally dropping me. I'm embarrassed and feel ashamed, I feel like he toyed with me. But how can someone ask you to be with them and then give you the cold shoulder?

Please tell me how you feel about this.
