Chat soon......?? What does this mean??

Started socializing with a new group of friends recently. Have only been out with them a handful of times but there is one guy in particular who I'm drawn to... He seems flirty by nature and always makes some effort to talk with me. We have flirted and I think he knows I'm interested...last time we were out he bought me a drink and we had a kiss at the end of night...Thing is I wanted more to happen than a kiss (wanted him to come back to mine) but he refused said I was beautiful but drunk and would regret it...a few days later I mailed him to apologize. He replied saying we all overdo a little at Christmas, will see you around again and chat soon... Was this a brush off or do you think he may be interested?
