<human>: I had a short fling with one of my guy friends that ended a couple of months ago. While we were "dating" we would cuddle and hook up but we never actually had sex. It ended because I was unsure about how invested he was in what was going on and didn't know how to proceed. He did the slow fade and we stopped talking for a while.

I bought him a birthday gift before it ended and decided to give it to him anyways. When it came in the mail, I went and dropped it off at his house. We talked for a while and it was pleasant and seemed totally normal. I'm unsure of whether that meant he was just being nice and friendly or because he might actually want to try to pursue a friendship or something with me. I haven't been clingy or attached, haven't called or texted since it ended and just gave him space. I really liked having him as a friend and don't want to lose that but I am unsure if he wants the same thing.

Can you give me the gist of the text in a nutshell?
