Your questions were for the most part answered by Ian. You asked what was working. I think that you getting distance from him and not being there kissing his butt was working for you. He WILL want you if he can't have you. He WILL want you if you are strong enough to be without him and you are enjoying your own life. And the longer it goes on, the more he will come to realize he wants to be with you. But you can't be weak here. There is no difference from the time you were in Jr High...playing hard to get still works on big dumb oxen like us. :p
In the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years. Abraham Lincoln
It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed. Theodore Roosevelt
