Valvan, hello there...
My 2 p's....
Unless that person is very close soul fam, there is absolutely no way I would tolerate or even feel spiritually inclined toward someone who wasn't available for and didn't value my friendship and/or left off for years at a time. Who knows why? Most gents in my experience don't prefer anything long distance and most gents from early to mid-20s don't prefer friendships with women.
Most gents above the "age of innocence" (say university age) are looking primarily to women as a potential nearby sexual partner, whom they may or may not care about or love. Often commitment and certainly love are absent by their choice, as truly loving someone day-in and day-out takes time. This would mean time spent getting to know them and love them first and foremost as people and as friends.
I'm not saying you are not soul family and/or don't have past-life experiences. Both of those may well be true and you would be the one to reflect and evaluate that.
But I'm also here to say that all but the most spiritually and emotionally attuned gents will readily disregard soul resonance, authentic love, and even the queen of Sheba herself
if they have someone readily available at hand who fits the bill and is sexually available.
Unfortunately, even if you were just interested in friendship and appreciating a connection, many men cease viewing women as lifelong serious friends and begin more exclusively evaluating time spent based on sexual availability. I know you are young yet. But he may already been in the groove of pursuing sexual relationships and out of the groove of pursuing friendship.
Likewise, if you were say 5 or 10 years older and you were at hand...and even if you were interested in him as both a friend and partner...
....still, unless he was open to the love in his heart and to committing to you in a relationship, he still wouldn't necessarily be good for you. Even though your authentic love for one another is true. This is the reality of where humanity is at, as a species. Currently, the way most men in modern society have been schooled and oriented to view women upon adulthood tends to severely limit the development and presence of authentic love.
If you have a soul bond, the love will be there regardless. But many today 1) have been schooled to disregard feelings, sadly...2) will not know how to interpret it if he is not having sex with you or planning to do so...and 3) anyway may tend to dismiss it or downplay feelings, so that casual sexual relationships can be pursued instead (with either you or with others), which do not have any deeper engagement of feelings...again, authentic feelings and real engagement can be terrifying when you have not been allowed permission by society to feel your feelings. And when you have been schooled to look at women as outlets for your sexual use and convenience.
It's predatory, it's extremely addictive behavior for men (porn and casual sex), it's misaligned with authentic love, and as we all know our society as a whole is only just beginning to deal with the fallout from the last half-century of society's promotion and encouragement of this paradigm of masculinity. I'm really pleased to see that many other gents have begun to see through the hollow paradigm and they're not proud of much of what they've done in the past, thinking at the time "everyone was doing it." We have several lost generations, including my folks, mine, and yours too, though I hope the tide is turning soon.
You are young yet and so you want to be sure you care for yourself equally to the other
Unless you are next door or just round the way, many gents will not pursue you sexually and unless they are spiritually and emotionally evolved, many gents will not engage at length socially with any non-family member who is not sexually available to them.
So I would recommend finding places where you can engage with and get to know others as people and as friends...as a practice for a lifetime. Most gents in our mainstream modern culture won't be interested. But who cares? Those that care for you for who you are will be willing to take time to get to know you better, first and foremost as a person and as a beloved friend.
Peace & blessings
