“A month is a long time when you barely know someone”

Please don’t. This kind of thinking has definitely made things more difficult for everyone. What if you were friends? Would one month of inactivity mean that you’re no longer friends? How did you become friends in the first place? I imagine they started as people you barely knew. How do you get to know people? Do people really think “oh we talked and had fun but now I’m (or they’re) busy or we didn’t talk for a month so automatic dealbreaker?” This really never made sense to me. Seriously, if you genuinely enjoyed your time with someone why would you let a moment of inactivity dictate your decision to drop it all? Why people can’t or won’t work to establish meaningful connections and would rather go for the quick fix solutions. There should be a real reason as to why you would drop people out of your life. Violence, drugs, emotional abuse, illegal activities, etc. not this “we just stopped talking”. If you really want to make things work then you should go for it! Also, since he is messaging you, showing that he is still interested, if by any chance you weren’t interested I would still message him and explain why. Either way, don’t let one or even a couple months get in the way of establishing a connection.
