Sagittarius initiates but doesn't respond

Hi,
I met a sagittarius person a few months back (now it is long distance) but he'd openly communicate a lot via texting, etc. for over 2 months (reply straight away and almost everyday + he initiated the conversations 90% of the time)..

Now, I get a very friendly message from him, I reply, he sees my reply, is online many times since my reply but does not respond.. despite it being over 8 days.. why initiate a conversation asking how are things, but then not respond when the same question is asked back?

By the way, I did not mention any sensitive issue or off-putting topic in my reply (in case you think that may have put him off from replying)..

What's the point of this?

Btw, think he's a bit of a commitment phobe (as quite a few Sags are) but certainly not a player.. more like the priest-like adventurer/explorer who enjoys in-depth discussions about "worldly" stuff.

I'm not too annoyed or upset by this at all but definitely interested to know why someone would behave like this haha. I surely wouldn't initiate, if I wasn't planning on replying?!

He's not that into you.

He's bored ^^ Initiate more with interesting topics he'll LOVE that. I get like that, months of same things = routine alarm. Goodluck!

Yep. . We bore quickly, so if things have slowed down, it's typically because we are bored

1. Maybe meanwhile something has happened what keeps his mind/emotions busy.
2. Maybe your response was not fancy enough.
3. Maybe he has some Virgo placements, check this thread:

My Virgo sister is refreshing contacts all the time. At the same time she is preferably busy with her accomplishments.

Thank you for the replies everyone. No, I don't think he has any virgo placements (at least not in terms of sun, moon, venus) - not entirely sure about mercury, etc but I doubt it.

If someone asks a question along the lines of "how's things", surely they cannot be expecting the most entertaining, funny, answer.. sure, that might be the case once in a while but not whenever/everytime he expects it? It would seem odd that to keep things going, I'd have to think of a hugely creative answer EVERY time a generic question like "how are you?" is asked..

Anyway, he isn't exactly the most fun / entertaining person himself.. if anything, the content of his conversations are significantly duller than what I've had with other people but he's very polite and a great friend nonetheless, which is maybe why I'm asking all this.. but if the price to keep such a friendship going is too high, (especially with quite a low gain for me in terms of interesting friendships), there seems not much point pursuing this further.

Thanks everyone. If anyone has any other input, please let me know.
