hey,
i know exactly how you feel when an x messages you or comments on xanga, myspace, facebook, and whatever other internet network program is out there.
i think the best thing to do is reply back with a happy & confident, "thank you!!"
keep it short & sweet, with no disclosure of details of your birthday event.
do NOT ever be the one to contact him first.
he should always be the one reaching out.
if YOU contact HIM first, such as calling him, texting, myspacing, emailing, etc., you will never have the upperhand.
i truly recommend reading brian caniglia's ebook called, "how to get back your ex". perhaps your intentions are not to get your ex back, but in that easy read of an ebook, the author briefly describes the "push-pull" theory.
this theory is also mentioned in a chapter in another book called, "Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus" - but that author called it as 'men are like rubberbands'.
the less you give, the more you will get from your ex.
hang in there! you'll be fine. always remember that you are valuable and worthy of a wonderful man and wonderful relationship!
