I must say it was a pretty bold thing for me to do, I can be fairly shy. So I contacted him via email, and to my amazement he responded right away. In his message, I got the impression that he was happy to hear from me, "pleasantly surprised" he said, he also ended the email with a few questions. Which usually means that the sender wishes to continue the conversation. So I responded. I haven't received anything back in weeks. As though he dropped off the face of the planet. Now I just found out that he recently broke up with his girlfriend (I didn't even know he had). I really liked this guy, and contacted him in hopes of rekindling what we previously had, but after no contact from him Im slightly upset. Which is kind of silly really. But I cant help but feel what I feel. So now that I know that at the time I contacted him he was with someone, I understand why he didn't respond. Now he's single, but Im sure he's still in the "getting over it phase". But I would like some advice, should I leave him in peace? Send another message? Wait it out? Or move on? I still have feelings for this man, please be kind! Furthermore, am I the only person on the planet who will always find time to respond to my messages? No matter who its from, I always find the time. I feel guilty if I don't, its called common courtesy. Does anyone else do feel this too? Thanks so much.

If he has not emailed, you might just send a "hello, how are you?". Don't mention that you know about his recent break-up. You don't want to give the wrong impression. Take it slow.
