Thanks, I know you are right. It is craziness trying to figure out what he is thinking.
I look so hard for positive signs and want them so badly that I shoot right past the action and go looking for meaning. Even more futile, I want it all RIGHT NOW!
I guess I should just be glad he responds to emails but I still think it is a step backwards. For a brief while he was emailing me on his own and now that's stopped.
