He texted me and emailed me few times afterwards, and I replied and didn't show that I'm upset about him not contacting me. In one of his emails he mentioned that he had probs and will explain once he sees me in person next. He said that he hadn't forgot all about me, but he had difficulties during his stay in the new town where he started a new job. Let's give him the excuse of being out of town and a little out of reach?! What would be the best reply to him saying I didn't forget about you and we'll see more often once I'm back in town. FYI I didn't sleep with him and I don't intend to, but do you think he's into me? Would it be a good idea to say that if he wanted to forget me, it's his choice and tell him that it's up to him or that would be too straightforward?!

Dont scare him off by being to clingy. Take it easy and give yourselves time to get to know each other. Best reply would be that you enjoyed your date and that you look forward to meeting up again and getting to knnw each other some more. Good luck.

I don't think that response is the way to go. It sounds kind of harsh and strange... Are you into this guy? Do you want to see him again? If you do, I would just respond something very simple, like "Great! Looking forward to it", or something casual like that. It shows that you are interested in seeing him again, but not overly concerned that he's been out of touch. In my opinion, the last thing you want is to be seen as clingy or annoyed that he hasn't been in touch. Then, you'll see how interested he is because you're leaving the ball in his court. If he wants to see you again, he will. And if he doesn't make an effort, then move on.
