Sorry Brooklyn but I think you are pursuing big time with your proposed response. You are playing right into his hand. Don't you see he is baiting you with his email?

I stand by my suggestion: "I'm gald you had a good time. We'll talk soon."

Short, sweet and gives him a ton to think about, (i.e. Crap, that wasn't the response I was expecting!).

I know you find it hard to detach with him so far away. But don't you see how by not responding with anything of substance shows that you are detaching? It creates so much confusion and mystery that his head will spin.

Seriously, please consider my suggestion.
