Then don't. He's probably threatened by all the interest you are getting. Don't worry about him at all. Just think of yourself and the job you want in the location you want. When he's genuinely interested he'll show it in a less egocentric manner (maybe). You've started the ball rolling as far as contact is concerned so now the ball is in his court. I personally think that you'll know where you stand by how he behaves in the next several weeks. If he is interested he'll ask about your job search and also at least express interest in where you might be moving. If he doesn't then maybe he isn't worth it until he can consider other people in his equation.
