I think that my new mantra is 'play it cool'. That seems to be the key in this whole thing. I think my h perhaps I am going to trap him in some way and backs off whenever I TRY to engage him, however when I don't try he sort of does so maybe that is what works.
Seems to me like you are figuring it out Julia!!! You knew not to press. Remember to let him set the pace, but don't be completely shy (i.e. logistics type things like next weekend). The rule of thumb I used was if my W engaged in a text convo then I would reciprocate with no expectation, if she respned I do so as well....I let her set the pace and the end point.
You sound a lot more peaceful
