Should I be cautious or hopeful after he disappeared and is now reaching out?

Long story short, I (30f) was seeing this guy for about two months. I eventually confessed that I’d caught feelings through text, and he said he’d prefer to have that conversation in person. Then, he disappeared for almost two weeks. Now he’s reaching out again to make plans to meet in person.

The way we left things before his silence already gave me the impression that he doesn’t feel the same way. That’s what I expected, but now that he’s reaching out, there’s this tiny sliver of hope that maybe we can talk things through.

I honestly don’t know what to expect this time. He’s acting like everything is fine, but I feel like I should be more cautious. Could he be pretending everything’s okay, just to drop the “I don’t feel the same” bomb on me later?

what’s your take on this? What should I expect from this meet up? Should I be worried about how he’s acting now?
