Search Results: excuses to start a conversation

I dated a guy for several months from about Nov-Feb and think we made a good pair. The only problem was he would usually ask me for weekend dates on Thursday nights, often after I'd made other plans. I wasn't offended by the last minute gesture and accepted several last minute invitations when I didn't have other plans. However, since he didn't ask every weekend, I would go ahead and accept invitations to do other things or otherwise make other plans if he hadn't asked me out by Tuesday or Wednesday. The last two times he asked me out (on Thursday nights), I had to turn him down due to other plans. He may have thought I was making up excuses, but I wasn't. I felt especially bad about having to turn him down the last couple of times because he had recently sent me flowers for Valentine's Day. I just couldn't wait until the last minute every week. We never discussed it - he just stopped calling. II wonder whether I should try to contact him to clarify, or simply let it go now that it's been several months since I heard from him. What do you think? If I should contact him, then how should I go about it and what should I say? For example, I thought about sending him congrats text the next time his favorite football team wins and see if I can start a conversation and then try to work it in. How do I work something like that in? Specific language would be greatly appreciated as the very notion is very awkward for me.
