I just find it all completely annoying. I am NOT your f*buddy. If you would like to show me at all that you have interest in our actual relationship, then maybe. But I can't allow my emotions to get all whacked out everytime we go thru this. Because I am fairly certain at this point it means nothing to him - even though we are connected and it shows there is still something there.
I think you're right that it means nothing to him, and if it's messing with your emotions then by all means do not go there. When you told him "no" his followup texts smacked of an 8-year-old's temper tantrum. To me that says a lot about where his intentions were, they were not to reconnect with you emotionally.
