i started seeing a guy a few weeks ago who had been an acquaintance of mine.  we had great chemistry, we both seemed to be having a great time, and things progressed rather quickly.  after dates, i was usually the one to initiate contact after waiting a while.  he usually responded, but it took a little while.   lately, i feel like he's been sending mixed signals, and i'm not sure if he has simply lost interest and i should walk away.  he would suggest times for us to meet up, but then cancel plans or procrastinate them with what seems like reasonable excuses. 

If he does that once you have to give him the benefit of the doubt, if he does it more than once, then you've got to think he's less than interested in you.  Whenever a guy finds a woman that he wants to be with, he won't pass on chances to meet up.  He will want to meet up as often as possible and see you as much as possible.  It's true that a guy probably has to play it cool at first because women don't particularly like a guy to rush things or be all over them.  But really this guy should be gradually increasing the amount of contact with you over time if he was motivated. 

i know from friends that he is a very caring person, but it seems like i am not really any sort of priority in his life.

Unfortunately, I think you have the right conclusions from this relationship.  The fact that he's a caring guy, means he probably doesn't want to tell you that he doesn't like you that much, even if you confront him about it, he may not admit it, because he won't want to hurt you or feel that he has hurt you.  He'll want you to get bored and fed up with him and find someone else and realise he wasn't right for you anyway. 

i was hoping to see him so that we could talk, but i haven't seen him in over 2 weeks. should i talk to him or just walk away?

You haven't seen him for 2 weeks, I think you might as well move on, he clearly isn't that interested in you.  There's no point in talking, his actions say it all, he's not interested, so it's time for you to walk away. 

if he cared at all he would make time to see me, right?

If he liked you then he would try his best to see you.  Unless you have given him the idea that you are not interested in him, then he would avoid you, but it doesn't sound as though you have given him that impression.  So, yes he should be contacting you and increasing contact with you, rather than reducing contact.
