Why did he apologize after all this time?

Author

A guy I dated about a year ago reached out a few days ago and apologized for how things ended. He said he wishes he had handled everything differently. We talked for a bit and I told him I was open to seeing where things go but I wanted to take it slow this time.
Since then we've been texting every day usually just checking in during the morning and at night asking how each other's day went. I think I came on a little strong during the first couple of days so I pulled back. Now I match his energy and only reply when he messages me.
The problem is I'm already wondering where his head is at. He texted me this morning I replied and I haven't heard from him since. Part of me wants to send a follow-up because I don't want to waste my time if this isn't going anywhere. Another part of me knows I could just be overthinking.
He still keeps in touch with my family so that makes me think he might be serious about reconnecting. I just wish I had a clearer idea of what he's actually looking for instead of trying to read between the lines.

Don't assumed. Just take him as a friend. And if developes, it develops. If not, just live your own life without him
