Guy leaving me waiting...HELP! Do I deserve better?

So this guy and I have been talking for like two months now. By talking I mean hanging out and you know a little other stuff.

Anyways, he said after he got back from Maui he would take me on a date.. that never happened. Then Thanksgiving break came around and he said when we got back from that we would go out.. we never did. He always forgets. Annoying! Is he just saying that he will take me on a date so that I stay happy?

Anyways, he had applied to a Grad school in England. Oh, he just graduated from the school I am at. So yeah, he got into the school in England and starts it September, meaning he will be gone for a year. He is also going to be gone for two months pretty soon.

So one night after hanging out, I asked him where he saw us heading. He told me he had been avoiding this question. He said he wouldn't be here much longer, so he wasn't really sure what to do. Which left me thinking, wow you are just using me in a way! But we decided we should still keep things going, he still wants to hangout with me,  and that the two months coming up that is he away will put things in perspective for us.

Well the day after that convo, i texted him and got no response. Didn't hear from him the next day. And then the day after that I texted him something and it took him so long to respond, I kind of wished that he didnt and that there would be a good reason for why he didnt.

Well so basically I am going to say it has been four days after our convo about us and I have not talked/texted him. Which is weird cause we always talk, even just for a little bit.

My friends say he is probably thinking about his decisions, but honestly him just ignoring me is causing me so much pain.

What should I do? Should I text him asking him what's up? I feel like he has all the control.
