DB works. And NC works too. I should be fast asleep but I'm actually a bit excited so thought I would see if any of my detached DB friends can help me in my next DB maneuver!

Haven't heard from H in almost 6 weeks except for a text message for my Bday 3 weeks ago. Have been semi thinking that I might reach out and contact him at the end of Feb.... but am so glad I've been patient.

Got a text from H at 6pm tonight saying "Hi just thought id see how your going with work and what youve been up to".

I didn't hear my phone beep, and it wasn't until I got into bed and set me alarm on my phone that I saw it. So at 10pm I replied "Hi thanks for your text! Have just got home but its probably too late. Will call u later. Hope u are good!".

Was actually at home, but I'm sure I can come up with a plausible lie about being out instead!

Was my reply OK? I don't trust myself to not stuff up in the heat of the moment.

So what I'm thinking is that I wont call him tomorrow night, I will make him wait, and I will call him the night after. What do you think? Too mean? Don't want to appear too keen though.

And when I talk to him I do actually have lots of fun interesting things to tell him that I've been doing. I have to remember not to bring up R or getting a D (for some reason I bring up D and make a joke of it - weird?!?). And I might need to steer clear of mutual friends having marriage difficulties because otherwise it gets too complicated to work out if we are talking about the friends or actually our own R.

OK I'd love to hear your thoughts about it. (I know this is so sad, its one tiny little text message, but I literally did a little dance around the room I was so happy - must not get too excited..... he could have bad new waiting for me)
