If a guy cuts you off, comes back and asks you out, how do you treat him?

I really liked this guy so it’s hard for me to say no. We reconnected and he made a joke about me being “heartless” and I said no I have feelings then he asked if I was hurt my what he did. I said somewhat and he called me right away. I was shocked cause he hasn’t called me in months. He said he’ll talk to me soon and we briefly mentioned hanging out.

I just don’t know how to treat or be towards him. I still care for him but I don’t want to seem like a pushover and just letting him come back so easily after what he did to me
