ok a little background. I was seeing this guy for awhile,but we decided it wouldn't work. we're still friends tho.
I wrote him recently and he thanked me for writing. Also,after not talking for a few days,I called him to ask him about something and he started asking how I was doing,what was new,etc. does this mean he missed me? still cares? what did he mean by thanking me for the note? thanks in advance.
He is acting out the "friends" relationship that you have established with him. He knows that friends talk about current life events and care for each other's wellbeing. (in a nutshell)
As far as he's concerned, he has not overstepped his boundaries as a friend.
Does this mean that he cares for you romantically? possibly, it is hard to get over a relationship when you stay in touch with the person that you ended the relationship with.
Does this mean that he's okay with being just friends? possibly, It's hard to get past the first few awkward conversations when "just friends"gets established freshly out of a romantic relationship. but I know people (myself included) that truly are okay with being "just friends" and have to march through the awkwardness and possible crossed signals that we send to each other.
