Do I bother thinking about what I would need/want if he were to want to "pick back up after a few weeks" IMO, no. He is about as politely clear as he can be. Maybe you should accept his words at face value, graciously and cross him off your list.
IF he wants to "pick back up" someday, cross that bridge then... (I'm not really sure if he actually meant this, or if it's a way to ghost me without confrontation) or is that a futile exercise?
1) it is a futile exercise. There is no "good" answer that will comfort you in this^^ scenario.
and 2) I cannot imagine a way in which he could be clearer without sounding mean.
"K, I'm just not that into you" and besides, you are making him a priority, which is flattering. But I think to him, you are an option. Maybe he's that way with all women now, or always, or maybe it's that he does not think you guys are a good fit.
What would he need to say for you to believe ^^^this? I'm asking.
Or something to worry about when/if it actually happens? for sure not something to "worry" about now.
I know I cannot accept the same treatment that I was receiving if that were to happen, he would need to show respect/care/effort/interest. I'm not sure exactly what that would need to look like yet, though.
You said He wasn't showing or giving you what you needed/wanted. Then he ended things with a slightly ambiguous summary...
I'm sorry but I've learned that - None of us should stay or want to be in a r based on the potential in the person.
