Long story short, an old flame recently reached out and started talking to me again. I was reminded of all the good things I like about him but I intentionally kept things slow so he's been slow to reply etc. We saw each other once and he didn't ask me out again for three weeks, during this three weeks we text couple texts at once but only every other day (this was my pace and I guess he copied). Last Saturday he texted and asked me when I'd be free to grab a bite. I got distracted so I texted back answering his other questions but didn't manage to let him know I'm down to grab a bite. Monday he texted again but was extremely brief and didn't bring up to see me again. I replied to him Monday afternoon with lots of texts but didn't want to say yes I'm down to see him bc I realized I had forgotten to answer him. What do you think he's thinking, should I actually text him now saying I somehow didn't manage to send him that msg but I did mean to say yes?
Should I answer his text?
Why are you making things more complicated? Unless it's like you guys left with wounds, or life pulled you guys apart.?

You seem to have been less than clear with him, so he's apparently backed off. Just send him a text saying "Sorry, I forgot to respond to your other text, when are you free to get together?" Simple.
