He should not have used the word "baggage". At the very least, he should have told he that he's really busy and can't find the time or not interested in getting together right now. At the most, he should have told her that he's not ready or capable of taking on the responsibility of dating a woman with children. Using the word "baggage" sends a message to her that her child is holding her back and the child may suffer.

Yeah, this guy's a dick. And he's known this woman for years and years, what's the harm in going for dinner and catching up, it's not a lifetime commitment. He went out of his way to treat her like a leper because she's a single mom (or, more likely, because she never let him into her pants back when he was thirsting after her).
