Video editing 

Then he can set his own schedule.  He knows something about what's in his queue.  He's not punching a clock.  If he has a deadline he can work odd hours to have time to meet you. 

I'm sure you look fine on Zoom.  Get over that fear.  I was super self conscious at first but had to do it for work so I got over it quick.  It's the way of the future.  Watch a video or something to get tips to make yourself look better.  You will be fine.

It's very important to be careful not to categorize every lukewarm guy as commitment phobic, scared, hurt, damaged, gay, shy, busy, etc., etc.

It turns out you guys were right 😔 he wasn’t ready for a relationship and he said he just didn’t have the time. That explains absolutely everything. I think the whole ‘shy inexperienced’ thing was a complete lie based on his confidence on the phone. Funny thing is I’d originally cut him off in fear of getting hurt because of some red flags but stuff just made me run back and not want to leave which I suppose is understandable... I even didn’t want to end it because I thought I’d break his heart lol silly me. Clearly just lost interest I guess

I'm sorry to hear that, OP, but at least you won't be wasting any more time on this guy. 

He had too many different excuses, which usually means none of them are exactly true. An important lesson here though - don't spend this long talking to someone who won't even speak to you live until after 3 months.

Sounds a bit like my ex!  He used to let people believe he was shy and "not looking for a relationship".  Turned out he was sleeping with other women at the time and very secretive!  "Being shy" was a very useful label for him to hide behind.
