I decided to call him to finally make a different contact.He was very surprised and almost speechless. I guess he didn't expect it. I thought he didn't liked it.So, I emailed him today saying that I forgot to thank him yesterday for always being so nice to me and that I wish to be always in touch.He replied, that there was no need to thank him. He enjoys our friendship and communications. The phone connection was a bit poor and that he was very surprised of my call. That he'll be in touch.Now, how should I take all this? Can this grow and not give up on him? Reply to this Question

 I wouldn't call his shock rejection. He was probably just very surprised to have an old friend pop into his life out of the blue!
I wouldn't give up on rekindling the friendship quite yet!

 Speaking as a guy, it's quite a rare thing for a woman to take the time out to actually call a guy. It's more or less accepted that the guy makes the first move in everything, be it initiating communications or going for the first kiss.
I wouldn't take his surprise as a rejection, but just that he was surprised that you would take time out to call him up. If he's anything like most guys, he'd be flattered and happy to have a woman call him up out of the blue.
