How do I act?

[Surviving03]

oh my gosh you guys!!!!!!!! he FINALLY emailed me today!!!! I had sent him the letter of release like my DB coach told me, and he actually responded! I am feeling really good about it.... he said thank you for writing me, it was really good hearing from you... then he made some chit chat about different things he has been up to, asked me about the earthquake here in Turkey, asked me if I had heard from him Mom lately and how she was doing.... then said that he will be staying at the house when he comes home and not the dorms but he said "i got dibs on the bed lol" and then said that regardless of what happens with us i hope we can always be friends, and I still think i made the right decision but we will see what happens when I come home.....

So! I take that as progress! still keeping the ball in his court... but obviously missed hearing from me and is thinking a little bit about the possibility of things changing around... what do you guys think?? I replied to him and ONLY answered his questions that he asked, didnt mention anything relationship related, real short and simple but nice... and just ended it with Talk to you later.... now, i know he read that email (read receipt) but he didnt reply to that one, but thats ok i think... i didnt really give him much to reply to....

input on this???
