Yea CVA, a weekend to yourself!! It'll be good to have a break from the constant delicate interaction & time apart is almost always good when good feelings are established right b/f the break.

so I went with the CVA gut thing I heard last night from Nomo, dont beat me up here folks...as she was in the car, I said "can I have a hug goodbye?" "Yeah" and she did not hug back really as she was sitting in the car but it was not awkward either
I've also been challenged in this area, the "want a hug b/f you go", and usually get the same response you did. Kinda neutral. For what it's worth, after our last interaction where I "let him go" so to speak, he came over to pick something up at the house & initiated a hug that was different from the "OK, if I have to" ones that I had been getting.
As we all know by now, they sense any kind of pursuit or indication that we're really just waiting for them.

She didnt have to call me to tell me that so that is good????
Yes!!! It is very good! There are so many encouraging signs & they are increasing all the time, it looks to me. I think they would increase at a faster rate if you provided even more space. You are doing a great job of this however, as evidenced by this;

Thought about asking to stay tonight but more downside than upside in this one I think
That's show such strength in managing your emotions & giving her space. I think you'll be rewarded with an increase in her coming towards you.
Also, the continued relaxed style you've adopted is going to make a difference, ie. Mexican food twice.
Enjoy your weekend CVA, you're doing better than good
