I'm going to give you my opinion, since you've asked.

It sounds like you're looking to make excuses for him. You're disappointed and lonely, as you have looked forward to reigniting this romance for months. Please try to let go of him.

Either he isn't a man that you can be "just friends" with, or you're in a hurry to fill that void you feel inside. I have fallen into that sad tendency myself many times. Simply because I can't stand being single. I feel emotionally lost. Always on the hunt for someone to fill that void that has followed me throughout life.

Obviously, I should practice what I'm preaching to you. It's so much easier to see & advise others than to follow my own advice!

That's my opinion of what you should do. Hope that I haven't offended you palemoss.
