Welcome Ali! I have followed your sitch and I think it is great that he is making so much contact. I have had problems with being just friends too. Everything between my H and I seemed completely platonic. I wasn't sure how to take it to that next level and I'm still not sure...but I do think we have to start out as friends.

You both have to learn to be comfortable around each other again, and the only way to do that is to be friends. He is probably feeling you out also...for all he knows, you wouldn't give him the time of day for the way he acted. Friends is a great sign. It is hard because we are so eager for physical attention ...but they need time. I am finding this is a SLOW process.
