Agreed on not repsonding right away for those very reasons.
And I personally would not handle the matter over the phone. Nor would I say the door is open even tho you want him back.
I agree with everyone else. And Dday's right, don't say the door is open.
Have you read DR yet? I really recommend that. Stop the begging, pursuing, answering on the 3rd call is good, but only if you absolutely have to: if it's about business or something like that he really needs an answer for. No calling to chat or R talk.
If you need to vent or whatever, just post here and the people here are really great.
