Seriously, what is this guy’s deal??

So the “ghoster” resurfaced today. It’s my birthday, but he doesn’t acknowledge it (probably because he doesn’t even realize it. After basically ignoring me since Christmas, amongst my many birthday texts I get a “hello” from him. I sat on it awhile, and finally wrote back “hi”. He wrote me almost immediately and asked “did you forget my number?” I politely responded. “Of course not. But I believe that works both ways you know”.

That’s been over an hour ago, and no response. Is this guy just messing with me or what?
