Oh gosh, in my opinion: He is luring you back.

Don't take the bait.

The cozy intimate-sounding-lunch text should be forwarded to whomever oversees or does licensing. Then delete it so that you don't have to consider replying.

Sometimes desire is confusing, and clouds judgement. Could that be his motive?

It is easy to go to open arms. It is very normal and okay to want that! But, as he did not have to act on his desires and impulses, neither do you. You can have the feelings you're having and not act on them.

Don't connect yourself with him by replying to the text. It will muddy and confuse things further for you.

It might help you--ground you-- to go back and read some of your earlier posts where you talked about the pain you were feeling about what happened.
