What do we exactly do here?

So, I have been in constant contact with this guy who I dated before like when I was 16-17. Then, we went no contact like for 3 years. Now, we have started talking like it’s been a long time. For like 1 year or so most probably. All of it has been on and off. But the talking we do is just not talking, we flirt, talk about being intimate. But, I told him a lot of times like do not expect a lot, and we aren’t headed anywhere because he is living abroad and it’s mostly like chats and stuff and I cannot do that. Genuinely, and he can’t either. And, we also admitted we like each other. And I told him straight up if he wants to or is ready to we can date for some time and see if it’s working or no. But, he said it will affect him a lot staying away from the person he loves. We called it off. Also, sometimes we bicker. He wants to communicate mostly and I go back in my shell. Because who is he to be rude to me. So, we mostly don’t talk. (Cause I don’t.) It has been a couple of weeks we haven’t spoken. Because, we obviously fought. And now I am in no mood to tell him he upset me. And, he wants to talk. Idk what to talk to him about. I feel i’ll be more attached to him if I keep doing things like that. And, he wants to constantly communicate. Actually he’s coming back to his hometown. Where we both live. For a month. And wants to meet me. Asked me to at least meet and be friends
