Dude's lost interest. I went through the same bs with my ex.
Step 1- They're interested and come on STRONG. Talk of relationships and future stuff. Kinda blows you away.
Step 2- They settle down and you guys sort of hit that neutral, comfort level. Things seem fine.
Step 3- They do a 180 and you're wondering wtf is going on. Something is up and it's usually their scales tipping and they're trying to balance and reevaluate things. Like you said, they're seeing how you fit into their life at this point. Is it a stay or a go?
Step 4- If they realize that you're something that they want to keep, they'll go back to normal. If not, it's over. You're just going to get strung along at this point. They don't want to be the bad guy in the situation, so they string you along for all the wrong reasons. Mostly to save face value.
Your situation is textbook. You were right in giving him space. It'll do YOU some good because it's not fair that you get sucked into the indecisive, confusing bs. There are times I wish I'd been the one to break things off first because maybe I wouldn't have been left without any closure and so much confusion. If you leave the decision making up to a Libra like this, it's just... a pain in the ass.
There is a chance he may come back around after this, but you might want to stay objective in order to clearly see how things are. Sometimes Libras have no effing idea what they want and if you get sucked in, then the situation just turns into a confusing clusterfuck. It makes it harder to do the right thing in the long run.

I'm hoping others can offer some insight into the mind of a Libra man. This the first Libra male I've ever met or considered dating (I'm a Libra). He is currently overseas in Afghanistan (contractor). We met shortly before he left, so there was very little getting to know you time. Tons of chemistry, tons in common. We agreed to try continuing the friendship via email, and it worked well.
Well, he was the one to start within a few weeks getting into the notion of having a relationship. He came right out and said that he wanted to pursue a relationship with me at all costs, no matter what. His emails got hotter and heavier and were filled with "you are my dream woman" on and on. The project he was on went south, and he started becoming colder and less communicative. He claimed it was the insanity of the job, and the problems he was having. I didn't push, I tried to understand. He was supposed to be back at the end of the summer, but now, it appears he is coming back in two weeks.
He talked about being done with the private work wanting to start a new life and to enjoy love. Since then, two things have happened. There was a period where I didn't hear from him for two weeks. His response was that it was the job he was sorry it wasn't me but he also said that because of the demands of the job, he may have started our friendship and now may not have the ability to "finish" it claiming the job was just too demanding on him time-wise and physically. We did talk it out, and things somewhat went back to normal, but that statement bothered me. More recently, in talking about coming home, there seems to be a lot of pessimism. Yesterday, he emailed me that he feels bad leaving, and alluded to possibly going back. No talk of coming home to me, wanting to see me, nothing. I wound up emailing him that I am sorry he is so torn, and that I can't understand what he is going through. I then, though, told him that from what he has said in his emails the past two weeks, that he is re-evaluating things, and that I may not fit into his picture anymore. So, the best thing for me to do is to back off and let him sort out his future and his next steps. I didn't criticize, I didn't get mad, I just said that he needed his space, and that I was giving it to him.
So, did I do the right thing, or is he going to view what I wrote either as an ultimatum, or in the long run not care at all? (maybe I was just one of many online girlfriends?)
