"My mind has just been racing a little over this new behavior. not sure what he's up to?? I don't know if him working next to the hospital where I work is factored into this as well. I know he has seen me when I go out to break...could he think that is some type of "chasing" behavior??"
You both have been doing this little dance for a while. If I was a guessing man.. I would guess you two are stuck in a little circle.
You both "chase" a little.. then back off.
I have shy'd away from telling people to push it a little.. mainly because I post to newcomers. But.. you are not really new to this. So.. Why not step it up a little.. You have to decide for yourself.. when to stir the pot a little. If things seem flat.. you need to start looking for things that will work and things that won't.
Relax Eat Think Act normal React.. Smartly. Do something different. Emulate. Do Work.
