should I shouldn't I? (update)

So I was the one who posted this for advice and I wanted to thank you for your advice I appreciate it! Unfortunately it didn't turn out the way I wanted - he replied to my message of 'hey it's been a while but how're you doing?' With 'not too bad thanks was a bit of a mess a few months ago, yourself?' (When he says mess he randomly texted me once like a month after he blocked me and made me feel like shit and apologised and said he was lonely - although I appreciate the apology) I answered but he purposely has been ignoring me now. It was a long shot cause it's been months but I think he's inadvertently given me closure like he shown me if he really cared in the first place he wouldn't have treated me like that and also I wouldn't have usually had the confidence to message someone like that so I feel like I made a big step so thank you for giving me that advice to do so ☺️
