Leo sun aqua moon

I met this guy a month and a half ago and we hit it off sexually. I'm usually such a prude but it was another me with him. We never had sex because I always backed off for I didn't want to be too fast. But then again I ended up scaring him away when I sent him an email telling him that I wanted to have sex with him but that I was scared of how things were going. He took it to mean that I wanted a relationship with him and told me that he wasn't ready for that. I can see how he could think so because I was overdramatic in my email. I responded setting things but kind of sent an email to make him look like the fool this time around (my friend's advice). anyway, that was two and a half weeks ago and i haven't heard from him.
I should just let it go, I know. But I don't like the way things have ended and I would like to have a second chance, if only to get to know him. and I've come to the decision that I couldn't care less about a relationship with him; jst want to have some fun!
so i'm thinking of sending him a simple email this time asking him how he was doing. to test the waters mostly but I hope that this would be a new/better start between us where we can know each other as friends at a slower pace.
What do you guys think about it? Is it completely foolish of me to even try? I really liked our intellectual exchange bt the sexual energy just burnt us out in the end.
How would his leo sun-aqua moon make up would react to this? Do they give second chances and accept offers of friendship? I'm a cap, virgo moon, scorpio ascendant.

hot sex would do this weekend. A new friend is always a good thing to have but it's not that deep
