I'm not sure I have enough facts to call him a jerk yet. I think it's something much simpler. He doesn't have the same feelings for you. So he said that he doesn't want to save hi to you so that you won't get anymore false hope so that you can move on with your life. It's like no contact the reverse.
I'll explain, usually when you want to get over someone, you would ignore them so that your feelings for them won't resurface so quickly. But instead, he's helping you with no contact by ignoring you.
Again, I could be missing a lot of facts, but I did want to put some perspective on his behavior.
Either way, regardless of his actions, it's clear that he doesn't feel the same way about you, so it's time for you to move on. Whether he ignores you or not, you should be ignoring him so that you can get over him more easily.
