thinking that could be a bit needy. I could flirt a bit about it, I suppose. I love to flirt, so that could be fun, and might keep that ember stoked. but if anything is to change, he definitely needs to pursue me, I can see that. and as well as he knows what buttons to push for me, I know what to push for him, too...I'd just have to be subtle about it, make it seem like he is the one in control/pursuit. granted, like I said, a lot about him and our relationship needs to change if we are ever to have a real chance, but that would be down the road.

good god, listen to me, I'm talking like yesterday meant something. I know it didn't...other than he still desires me, and wants to prove to himself and me that he can still have me.

as for the dating someone else thing, well, I think it just reminds the other person that the person who is doing the dating is still desirable...its so easy to become just a piece of the furniture when you've been together for a long time. knowing someone else is interested can tend to remind the op of the good things, the fun things.

but again, way more is being made of this. I know it in my gut. but nice to know he still is physically attracted. when the bomb first hit he told me he saw me more as a sister. ouch. ouch ouch ouch.
