I grit my teeth when I hear that. So I have not responded yet to the questions he asked. This is a change, these questions.

He's texting like everything is normal and we are catching up. Sigh. Strange.


Since he responded quickly, AND asked questions, there's still some feelings there for you. He's looking for something.

If I were in your place, I would attempt to build on this, but without any pursuing.

He says he's just trying to make changes for the better? My response: "Me too", and leave it at that. Everything is not normal, and you are not just catching up, so don't answer all his questions. (it's ok to answer generic questions... vaguely.)

I'll bet $100 he'll text back.

Remember, a new relationship with SO will only work if he chases you.
