OK, I'll dissent here (with a few caveats) and say that, depending on the guy, it's probably half and half. Just because a guy may "pick things up where they left off" from when he last saw you doesn't mean he didn't think or evaluate anything during the meantime. To a guy, that's the logical & orderly progression of how things "should" be. It's a journey, not hopscotch or leapfrog.
Of course, all that will depend on the personality of the guy and the depth of the relationship. Shallower or "surface" relationships are "out of mind" more. But yes, some guys do think of relationships, how much they invest in them, and evaluate if they need maintenance.
We do know it's about more than hanging out. Give us that. ;)
