So, the thing is I went out twice with a guy from a dating app, and honestly, I really liked him — he seemed super nice — but I just didn’t feel that spark or connection in terms of actually liking him.
So after the second date, I sent him a message and told him I’d rather leave things there and not drag it out, because I wasn’t feeling the connection and I didn’t want him to get his hopes up either.
He replied really respectfully, saying he understood, that it was all good, wished me well and all that.
But the next day, he messaged me saying something like: “I know things were kind of left hanging, but I wanted to tell you I bought that game you told me you wanted to play.”
So I replied in a friendly but neutral way, and we started talking about the game (he kind of hinted at coming over to my place to play it).
Now I don’t know if he’s trying to give things another shot or if he just wants to be friends or what the hell is going on.

Ask him.
Would you want to be friends with him? If not, just put a full stop to it now. If so, then a gentle reminder that sure, you’d love to play the game with him and you’re really glad he’s ok just being friends.
If you aren’t interested just block him. If you invite him over to your home he will come with certain expectations and it will end very badly.
Tell him he should return the game. It was a nice gesture, but a bit much.
Even if his love language is gift giving, you don’t want to string him along. Cut ties now, and find another dating app match.
