Aries Female Sag. Male NEED ADVICE

So, I met this guy online 8 years ago. (I’m 26 now and he is 29). He lives two hours away from me. Him and I have always connected in a way that I never knew was possible. We would talk all the time and then we would lose touch for years at a time and find each other again randomly on a different site. This has happened atleast four times.
Finally, this time I found him on Tinder in July. (We hadn't talked since early 2011). We talked for two weeks and he randomly disappeared again. Then about a month later he hit me up. Long story short this has been going on since July. (atleast 3 times since July).
We finally decided to meet a couple of weeks ago so I took the two hour drive with my best friend to his house (two hours away). When we pulled up him and his best friend came outside. They said they were hungry and to follow them to where we were going to go get food.
We followed for about 15 minutes. His friend was driving, by the way. 10 minutes into it he texted me saying which city we were going to. When we got to a 4 way stop his friend started to go, stopped in the middle of the intersection for about 20 seconds and then sped away as fast as he could go, totally ditching my friend and I.
After I got home a few hours later I texted him telling him how shitty it was that they did that. He responded saying he was soooo sorry and he didn't mean for that to happen, then said his phone died and his friends girlfriend got into a car accident. Seeing as they stopped in the middle of the intersection I gave him the benefit of the doubt.
We made plans to hang out two weeks later. He said he was coming to see me this time and he’d get a hotel to hang out at.
We text all day every day for the next Two weeks and then the day hes supposed to come I text him and he flakes on me. I played it super cool telling him I understand but since he always disappears on me I later text him and say, “If you want me to leave you alone, that's all you have to say. I’m a pretty cool chick, I get stuff. If you’re not interested anymore just tell me so I don't waste my time.” and then he responded, “That’s not it at all. My check was just short and bills took my money so the $ 15 I do have needs to be gas for the next two weeks.”
Okay, I understand that. And I said that to him in my next text to him, but now I haven't heard from him. I know my gut feeling is telling me hes just not interested. but hes also had plenty of opportunities to just throw in the towel. Should I keep trying or just delete his number and move on? Sorry this email is so long, but I wanted to make sure you got all the details. Thanks guys.

@OP- So you were 16 years old and he was 21 years old correct? You both met on an online dating site or whatever, and flash forward again he is still on there not in a relationship or nothing, ahh tempting as it may sound. Don't do it..

Well just detach, and have fun with someone else now..

Oh yeah delete his stupid number, he must had had a pretty strong impact on you or something. Cause what you describe are major red flags.

Delete delete delete

I was 18 or 19 and he was 21 or 22. Cant remember for sure. I think we met on myspace. Idr for sure.. haha. But thank you for your advice. I pretty much knew the answer just wanted someone elses opinion.
