Firstly, I was pretty impressed he told you his Grandad had died, its a small thing, but like you say, why did he tell you?
Secondly, on a general note, looking back to this time last year, my sitch started to improve when we moved from texts to emails.. as yuo can say more in an email (althought they were still short between us). So I would say.. try and communicate through email not text, whenever you can from now on. Texts are so throwaway and I for one tend to spend far less time/energy writing a text message than an email.
I would follow up this news, with something about his Grandad, maybe next week... by email. I agree that offering "if you want someone to talk to" is perhaps a bit too much. Jody said to me, you can no longer assume exclusivity in an R with him.. in other words, he has other people to talk to now. You could tell him you were sorry to hear about his Grandad and you wondered how his Mum/Dad (which parent was it?) was coping and that youre thinking of him or something.
As for the forms... do they need filling in? Perhaps you coulkd add in your email, for him to let you know when is a good time to meet up to do that, but you'll understand if he needs a bit of time having had this sad news. I dont know, what do you thnk?
As for for your options, 1, 2 or 3...I guess I am saying 3.. and then sit back and let him come to you in his own time. As I am doing! But whar do other posters think???
On a separate nosey note.. what happened to the guy that sent you the Valentine stuff? And have you changed your mind about H, as last time you saw him you said something like you realised you dont miss him anymore, or fancy him?? I was amazed at that, but seeing as you are still DBing, seems you do still want to reconcile untlimately? Or do you just want to be friends, and thats all?
