Contacting someone you brushed off

I went out with this guy I met online a few times a few months ago but I stopped dating him because I had feelings the 'unreliable guy'.

I felt bad for brushing him off because he seemed like a great guy and I never told him the reason why I didn't want to date him anymore.

Anyway, he saw me online again (he must've just put up his profile again right after me) and sent me an email just saying hi and good luck.

I sent him a hi back and told him he can always call me if he wants. And that was it. He probably thinks I'm a flaky, crazy nut.

I was wondering did he send the email just to be polite and no hard feelings?

Probably not. Since you never told him exactly why you two stopped dating, it is kind of easier to ease back into communication with him. "He probably thinks I'm a flaky, crazy nut." - probably not. See if he calls or writes back and pick it up where you left off. Sounds good because you and he are already in communication.

Ohhhh, great news reggielicious!!!! Thanks for the compliment. If I remember correctly, in a previous post you had been thinking about this other guy for quite some time, wishing that you didn't brush him off and that he treated you very well. Go for it and have fun!!!
