If something's hard to do, then it's not worth doing

OK, if I have things straight:
dude puts a link to your blog from his blog
then emails you asking for a link back
no previous discussion of a link exchange.

If that is how it is, then I say he is the one who violated netiquette ... according to old school thought at least. If someone does that to me, I would do as Dunc suggested, and me being me, add in that he is a novice at guilt trips to boot. Proper etiquette as I learned it was if you expected a link back you negotiated that beforehand. Otherwise it was simply a case of blog A linking to something relevant that blogger A liked (sometimes called an "organic" link).

A woman is like beer. They look good, they smell good, and you'd step over your own mother just to get one!

He didn't email me and ask for a link back. He only said that he put my link on his blog.
I am probably feeling guilty more from 12 years of having nuns beat it into me than anything, in other words, a knee jerk reaction lol..
Ok I feel better now - in other words he should not expect anything from this, it is just basically a gift. And very likely he does not, I just felt guilty about him doing it and not reciprocating.
Thank you all. I am going to lie down now.
Have a good weekend

I'm going to the backseat of my car with the woman I love, and I won't be back for TEN MINUTES

As you said in a previous post on this thread, this is a business. If you wish to operate as a charity that is your choice.
