Yay it is exciting that B emailed you! I think you are still in the stage of reconnecting as friends. So emailing like friends is good.
Lisa is spot on with her advice. You can choose - to continue building the friendship thing, or put yourself out there and make it clear that you would like more. I vote for 2 but only if you can handle a 'no'.
While you are deciding you must either email back, or call him, within the next 2 days.... Keep building it.
Remember that I got what I considered a fair amount of rejection even when I reached out as just friends.
The 'turning' point for me and H was when I told him that I still believed in him and that I thought he had made a good decision. It was kind of like telling him that I loved him without any strings attached and without actually saying the words 'i love you'. Is there someway that you can say / do something really big that says that you still love him but puts no pressure on him to respond?
What are you thinking?
Hang in there. It is positive that he emailed you back - he didn't have to and it shows he was thinking of you. xxxxxx and a huge hug
