So I've been popping in and out of this discussion thread reading all your responses to my post and feeling, alternately, relief (whew, it's no big deal), surprise (wow, I guess there's a certain amount of male talk that seems like it means something but really means nothing), and sheepishness (okay, so I have had a twinge or two of insecurity).

Very insightful. I agree. No - there is no reason for me to think anything suspicious is going on aside from the e-mail itself. I can see where there is the strong possibility that I am bringing more of my past history into my interpretation of the e-mail than the situation warrants. Although it was a long time ago, I once was in a serious relationship where the guy I was with cheated on me and had multiple relationships with other women without my knowledge. So, I would say my radar is probably up a little bit more than the average individual based on that experience.
Thanks, everyone for your input! And I won't sweat this one too much.
