Toxic Independence

I met this guy online almost two months ago and he lives in a different state. We talk everyday but lately it seems like we’ve been disagreeing. He always says I’m too independent and that I don’t care… I mean how much can I care about someone I’ve never met and have no intentions of meeting any time soon. It’s not that I don’t want too meet him but every time I ask he says stop asking him because it makes him feel like a bad person? Anyway this morning we had the same discussion and he hung up after he said I didn’t care. I do like him so I called him back to discuss his feelings about the situation in which he responded he was just trying to take a nap… I say all this too say, should I just leave him alone? Cause at this point I feel like my independence is threatening to him but he doesn’t want to admit it. I’m not good at dating and I tend to get attached but maybe I’m starting to think that I may be so independent it’s going to stop me from making genuine connections… has anyone ever dealt with this with men?
