Hey T - I will definitely take you up on the boots. Can I have the pink ones?
I like what K said about the voicemail. K's response is perfect.
One Day & I have been enthusing over a book called "why Men Mary Bitches" - dont be too put off by the title, its not about being a bitch. But it might give you a different way to think about the pursuing thing, and the game that exists in all relationships (and when you know that the game exists its much easier to win!). It might help you be motivated to make BF (or all other potential loves in your entire life) work hard to get your attention.
You of course are the expert on your relationship.... so please ignore this advice if it doesnt fit..... but maybe how you pursued BF in the beginning and how you worked harder on the relationship was actually a turn off to him. And you dont want to make the same mistake again. So now you have to walk that very fine line of being available as a friend, but mysterious and non-pursuing as a lover. One Day walks that line very well. I know how to do it in theory but not so much in practice!!!
