Why can't i move on from someone i never dated?

It wasn't even a relationship.. hang out three times for severals hours.. There was real connection, he seemed to like me with facts not just words.. but after the time I kissed him, he pulled away.. I didn't pursuit him, as he said "I didn't want a relationship, I'm not made for you" I just said "I really like you a lot, but if you are not serious I'll be going my ogni way" and he just replied again with "I'm not ready for a relationship"
it's been 38 days I didn't respond and he kept watching my stories on instagram.. so 13 days ago I deleted him as a follower.. I'm trying to move on, but my mind keeps getting back to him.. what should I do?

do you think you miss him, or the version of him you felt in those few hours together?

hi i’ve been in that exact spot, short thing but it felt REAL and then he pulled back right after it got physical. that switch up messes with your head more than long relationships sometimes, i kept replaying it for weeks
