Should I text him back? / give him another chance?

I know I was an asshole. But almost a month ago he drunk texted a confession, and I literally ghosted him out of fear because my brain kept thinking he was love bombing me and not seeing me for me...because I only know on the top of my head 4 things about him and he barely knows anything about me.

Today he just texted me again (I have not responded to this man for weeks) asking "how are you? it's been a while" ╥﹏╥

And the thing is. I don't know if I like him , everything he has done is sweet in someone else's eye for sure (like offering to carry something for me) -- but if anything... I felt more scared than excited/happy. Like he did nothing wrong, I just don't know why I feel so scared/nervous.
