Hey Courtney,

Definitely some good first steps- I would say try giving him even more distance and acting like you're happy about it. For example, if you act excited about where you're going and leave 5 min after he gets there. Be vague about where you're going too. "I'm going out w. friends!" or "Got an event to go to!" You're going to be happier just doing these new things anyway. Also, when you do spend a little time with him- think about ways to act fun and casual- what kinds of things did you do when you were dating? He's really going to start wondering if you have a fun, new attitude and a 'new life' that doesn't involve him that you're excited about. The key is to get him to think you may be moving on without him and you're actually happy about it. That may eventually spark the interest in your R again. None of this happens overnight, but with consistent effort, things can happen. Keep posting!
