Wow, thats amazing! I thought you were going to say he was some wierd stalker guy, but if he said he owned the shop nearby...? Thats such a compliment and also to get invited out by those two other random guys this week, you must be doing something very right!
Also, CEO may well have got discouraged/felt foolish, especially after you rebuffed his "Mum wants to know if your D yet" angle. All good things come to those that wait (apart from WAS, who seem to be under some special law of the universe where they may or may not, with no warning or reason).
I'm sorry your H is not in touch.. is that 3 weeks? Do you plan to contact him at all, or not?

Lovely- you always make me smile when you post. I was actually thinking of rubbing CEOs neck this week- he said it was stiff twice, but I didn't do it in the end. It seemed a bit forward! Although I did do it once before (years ago) for a guy I wasn't interested in, so I guess I wasn't bothered then! I'll give it a go if the opportunity arises in the future.
Ali- I'll mention something about CEO's Mum and the divorce thing this week, if I can get it into the conversation. The thing is that you have to be in the right setting to mention that kind of thing don't you? Everything's been really work-focussed the past couple of weeks and there hasn't been any real conversation. I've tried to initiate a little banter but he hasn't bitten. So we'll see what happens if I can ever get to a non-work conversation again.
It's been 3 weeks since I sent H my short e-mail, nearly 4 weeks since he sent me his one-line e-mail, but about 6 weeks since we actually had any interaction that was longer than 15 words. In fact in the last 8 weeks we've spoken for about an hour altogether, so it's an extended priod of NC. I'm not going to contact him- he can come to me when he's ready. I don't think there's anything to gain by me initiating, and in any case it's his turn. He knows where I am.
