MEN- if a woman sent you this apology, what would you think about it?

So just some background: This guy has been pursuing me and I thought he was just playing around so I told him he's not the right guy for me because I felt like it's just too good to be true that things were going so well between us. I thought there's no way that is possible. But then it turned out that he was actually very serious about us and not playing around. I went back and he told me that it doesn't matter anymore because I told him he's not the guy I'm looking for.


After giving it some thought, I decided to reach out to him and send him this apology:

I started by saying "Hiii :) Kyla has been asking me about you." -Kyla is my dog by the way- i mentioned her because he really wanted to meet her.
Then I continued and said

"I think about you everyday. So I really just wanted to say: I had my guard up because I thought our connection was too good to be true, and I was scared and ran. But I realized how dumb I was to second guess myself. And I didn't fully understand how my empty words and running could hurt you too. But I realized that the connection I feel with you even now is worth putting my walls down for. I want to let my guard down and run to you now. And I would appreciate if you allowed me a chance to fix my mistake. I promise I won't run again, unless you want me to."

He hasn't seen my message and it says he has not been online since I sent it.

I am very sincere and genuine in my apology and I'm hoping he'll turn around and give us a shot. I wanted to know from a man's perspective, how you would take that apology. He is 34 and I'm 28.

Thanks.
