He didnt really ask a question, but seems to want conversation?


Take it slow. I'd let another message or two pop up, then reply with "Sorry, I was busy. Thanks for your concern, I will take care of myself."

The whole point of letting them initiate conversation is to draw them back into your life. By all means, go with the conversation -- but steer it away from R talk if he tries to bring it up.

If you have a good conversation, or lunch, or whatever, be prepared for some pullback. He may enjoy it, and have to "regroup" to figure out what this means for the two of you. Don't be hurt by it.
