Answer 1

Olive branch signifies peace, he is trying to make peace with you. It is up to you to grab that branch if you want to talk to him again. Basically the ball is in your court. You havent heard from him again because you did not "grab the olive branch", and accept the peace, and you did not write him back.

Answer 2

Olive Branch Saying

Answer 3

there has to be a meaning behind it that relates to your past relationship.. Anything particular happen with an olive branch??

or giving peace... according to the below....

Olive branch is a colloquial term referring to a concession or a gesture of peace, as well as a peace symbol. Deriving from its origins in Ancient Greece as a symbol of peace and prosperity, the olive branch is used throughout many western cultures to convey the idea of peace. In Ancient Rome, the defeated carried olive branches in order to seek peace.

Olive branches are used throughout modern and classical works to represent peace. The eagle on the Great Seal of the United States, grasps with its right talon an olive branch containing 13 olives and leaves, while the flags of many nations (including the seal of the United Nations) feature olive branches in their design. Also used in many police patches and badges across the world to signify peace.

Why the olive branch came to symbolize peace remains something of a mystery. Speculative explanations tend to center around the idea that olive trees take a very long time to bear fruit. Thus the cultivation of olives is something that is generally impossible in time of war. Some theologists speculate that it may represent the branch brought back to Noah's Ark by the dove during the Flood. See also the explanation in the 'Peace symbol' article.

Several towns have been named Olive Branch as a symbol of peaceful living, such as Olive Branch, Mississippi.

Answer 4

He would throw you an olive branch ? ....lol....thats funny. Anyhow I think what he is doing is wanting to start talking to you again but he doesn't want to fully put himself out there. So he sends an e-mail and leaves the ball in your court. I say if he doesn't have balls enough to take the lead since he contacted you then he's a coward. Either way there is no use in revisiting the past for you.

Answer 5

I think his meaning by throwing you an olive branch is a peace offering. I'm not sure when it began but I do know that if you look up symbols that the olive branch is for peace. So did you and he have a nasty break up? If so he is putting a peace offering.

Answer 6

Answer 7

Apparently he's calling a truce and he wants to mend things. If that's cool with you, give him a call. He probably hasn't called because he thinks that you're still pissed at him for whatever reason.

Answer 8

He means that he wants you to make him a free pizza with everything on it except olives and bring it to his house.

Answer 9

He probably believes that when you parted ways that your life has been unbearable with out him and he's has put you thru hell.

Now he's back to release you from hell by gracing you with his presence

Or it's just a Booty call

Answer 10

There are times that guys don't make sense at all. Your best bet is to call him if you still have his number and see what it is that he wants.
