Is He Just Pulling Away?

I met a guy about a month and a half ago. We hit it off right away. Texted all the time, phone calls for 2 hours every night. A few days in, he told his parents about me, told them I was “perfect in every way” and “the nicest person” he had ever met. Said that I would be good with his daughter and that his parents would love me. A week after meeting, we both traveled home for the holidays and didn’t see each other for 2 weeks. We barely talked this whole time, as I was giving him lots of space due to being with his daughter who he rarely sees. When we both returned, he seemed very off and just depressed. I tried to give him space because I knew he struggled leaving his family. After a couple more weeks though, things still weren’t back to how they were when we first met. I would see him once a week (me always driving an hour to him), and if I asked for any more days, he would say that I was “moving too fast”…I finally called him one day and said that I wasn’t getting what I normally get when I’m with someone. He told me to be patient and that once work settled down, things would be better. He also said that he considered us a “thing” and wasn’t pursuing other girls. Anyway, things continued to (in my mind) move backwards. Finally I suggested that we go a couple days without talking and meet up on a Thursday. He responded and said that he agreed. Wednesday I texted him to confirm plans for the following day and he said that it was still a plan, but that he didn’t want me to stay the night like I always do. I thought it was really weird, because normally if I drive an hour to see him, we just both the expectation that I’ll stay over. I responded and asked “Have you been seeing someone else? Things just feel off.” He said, I’m not ‘seeing someone else’, I just don’t want anything with anyone right now.” I thought it was a weird response, as he directly quoted me in it; plus, less than a couple weeks prior, he considered us “a thing”. Anyway, we were texting Thursday morning and I said “I’ll just text you tonight before I leave.” He responded and said “I don’t think so”. I asked why, but he didn’t respond. I sent off another text and it was never delivered. He blocked me, mid-conversation! He had all of Wednesday to tell me he didn’t wanna meet. Why would he wait until the DAY OF, and then just block me? He’s never blocked me before, but he has gone between 12-24 hours without ANY communication and to him, it’s totally normal and doesn’t mean anything at all. So for the past 3 weeks of our “thing”, communication was maybe 3x a day, AT BEST. That’s why I want to get other opinions on his. Could he just be taking space or is this actually completely over? Honestly, I’ve been pursuing other options since he did block me, and as far as I know, I’m still blocked (I haven’t texted him again to see if I am or not, but I’m just assuming). Also, he didn’t remove me from Snapchat which he uses more than texting, so I find that VERY strange.
