I hung out 2 times with someone from online dating over a month ago. He was a good guy and I was starting to like him but it seemed he was using me as a backup. He wouldn’t make definite plans and was flakey. I ended up cutting it off and said we want different things. He then messaged me today saying happy Mother’s Day and saying he missed hanging out with me. I said I do too but I want someone more reliable. He just said “okay :-(“. Should I respond to that or ignore and move on ? Was annoyed he msg me because now I am thinking of him again. Why would he msg me again?! Ugh

I'd guess he contacted you because he likes you. But it sounds like you're being difficult.

When he stopped making definitive plans was it during the pandemic? If so, lots of plans and things started being put on hold, so the whole weirdness of the current times could have been a reason. Maybe he is trying to make a connection again.

It was but I would see that he would be going places per his online dating miles so it seemed he was dating others. And those were the nights we were supposed to potentially meet up. Should I ask him? I mean his response of “okay ;—( “ also didn’t seem that interested in reconnecting.

He just wanted to see if you wanted to hook up. Nothing more. If you’re a mother, you should be responsible enough to ignore him. He wants nothing more than some fun.

The question you should be asking is, why did you reply if you're done with this guy? And if you no longer want his company, why do you care why he sent you a message?

(As for why, read the end of your second sentence...)

oP, had a very similar scenario.
Do the following:
Move on.
No need to respond to him.
Silence is golden.

Everything depends on your philosophy of romantic partnership, some prefer to prioritize having fun as only point no matter whether he's your backup or you're his.
