Help! Driving me nuts!
I take it I should move on and cut my losses. Definitely easier said than done, however. There's always 2 sides of the story and I take part of the blame for not being completely forthright with how I feel about him (we're very sarcastic with each other), so maybe I'll tell him how I feel (sans sarcasm) and just move on. Thanks for the input Nemesis!

Hello fish friends,
Some of you may have seen my posts about a guy I've been on and off with for a couple of months now. We continue to be friends and chat often, but recently he's been wanting to take me out with the intention of dating again (we had broken things off previously because I wanted to be in a relationship, he didn't). He told me he had feelings, but was nervous because of past issues. He had been away on business and was chatting with me throughout, saying he wanted to meet up when he got home. Unfortunately, when he got back, I was going away on business as well. However, he stayed very attentive, sending me regular texts while I was out of the country and was insisting that we see each other when I got back- that he was excited to see me. Although I was hesitant at first, I went with my heart and told him that we can set up a date when I return.
Anyway, we set up a date, but then out of the blue, he canceled on me because he was stuck into going to another function he had just found out about. I was disappointed that he would break it off after we had made plans, but said oh well, we'll find another day. However, he hasn't mentioned meeting again and has been somewhat distant ever since.
Is history repeating? Background: When we first met, we were crazy about each other, saw each other almost every day- wanting to meet my parents, setting up dates far in advance... etc. only to realize he had jumped in head first and then proceeded to run away.
Is this common of a Pisces? To pursue someone wholeheartedly, assertively, then back away so suddenly?
It drives me nuts! I'm at the point where I don't even want to talk to him anymore because I have such strong feelings, but he keeps bouncing me back and forth.
How would you guys advise me to handle this? He is otherwise a great person and we have amazing chemistry, but I don't know if he'll ever really come around.
