Ive been dating someone (maybe not so much anymore) for about three months. He was always really emotionally supportive which was why I liked him but around late January he got busy with school and started cancelling plans and not talking to me as much. We got into a huge fight the other night and didnt talk for a few days. I was doing okay not having him in my life. But I caved in because I didn’t want to hold a grudge and texted him Saturday now I am back to feeling like shit like I have been since January. I stay because he was once a good guy and was putting in more effort now he puts the most minimal effort into our relationship and barely texts me throughout the day and just says he’s busy. I know he’s probably not interested in me and I should let it go but I keep the memories of him when he was actually trying attached to me and that’s what I’ve been holding onto. Is there any way I can get him back to being the person he was in the beginning? How do I get him to like me all over again? I know I probably sound pathetic but I’ve been crying over this guy for weeks now and I don’t know what to do anymore. My dating pool outside of him also sucks and doesn’t make my situation any better and I need advice. I feel worthless and like I’m setting the bar really low because there’s not much to pick from out there so he’s the best I can do. Basically, I’m asking what kind of strategy can I use now to get him interested in me again?

Was asked to post this here. Any helpful tips are appreciated. I have been trying to make this work but I’m playing myself at this point.
