From what I understand you can't pinpoint him. The stages don't necessarily go in order, they can overlap, and they can be repeated. So, trying to figure it out, and put a timeline to it just doesn't work, unfortunately.
I don't think you need to worry about you GAL looking to him like you are moving away from him. He isn't looking at you that way know. He really isn't looking at you. Remember, it is all about him. As he comes out, and does see you, you want him to see someone he would like to be with. No someone who is wallowing, and moping! Anyway, unless you try to hold him, I don't think you are pushing him away. He has that under control on his own! Try to hold him, and he'll run faster!
