Does this Capricorn Man love the Virgo woman? Yes or No?

We met online two years ago. I'm a Virgo, he's a Capricorn.

We dated for about two months. The entire situation was very passionate. We connected immediately over the first couple of dates. Like, it felt natural, trustful, calming, sensual and protective. Despite having never slept together, I intuitively felt his emotion for me, as it was pretty evident from the beginning.

He comes from a very well to do family, is educated, wealthy and owns his own legal cannabis business. I come from a pretty poor background having been an orphan, but make a decent living, educated, above average looking and just an overall good natured, decent woman. I value family, education and building a family legacy of my own, and I know that's something that he appreciates.

Anyway, he ended up cut things off because he felt I wasn't "all in" and was kind of "scattered", which wasn't true. It was actually him who was all over the place from running his start up business. Despite this, he severed the relationship, leaving me totally devastated until a year later I get a call from him wanting to "check in to see how I was doing". I had been seeing someone at the time, but would still pick up the phone anytime the Cappie would call, which became more frequent over a period of a few months. Whenever I called him, which was about every few days, he always made himself available to talk with me, no matter the time of day, no matter what he was doing.

So about a month later, when my boyfriend and I broke up, I texted the Cappie that night in tears and very upset. He immediately ordered an Uber for me to come to meet him at a bar where he was completely drunk upon my arrival. When in line to grab a drink, he casually mentioned that if I was going to be with him, I needed to have all my ducks in order. However, in that moment I had no interest in dating him, and I expressed that, as I was dealing with a breakup that had taken place just hours before.

A few weeks later I tried to date him, but he refused, saying he was looking for something more casual at the moment because his business eats up a lot of his time and so he's really only looking to sleep around.

Over the past few months he's been pretty inactive as far as reaching out to me, but I've gone through spurts where I try to refrain from talking with him by going long bouts of no communication (usually about a month), then after I can't stop thinking about him (because I do like him and and want to build something with him), I call him every other day for a week. He tells me and has told me before that he doesn't want to talk to me, yet he always picks up the phone and engages in these long conversation with me whenever I call or text him. His response to my communication is immediate. If I text, he will respond within minutes. Yet he'll say things like "don't call me, let's touch base in a year. I'm curious to see where your life goes."

I don't get it. I tend to have a realistic understanding of male/female interactions, but this one is throwing me for a loop.

Is he playing hard to get?

Why does he pick up the phone if he doesn't want to talk to me?

Please give whatever feedback you have.

Thanks!
