I agree.. whats with the backing off from CEO? Seems like it has just sort of angered/discouraged him?? as opposed to made him want to declare undying love. Can you do the opposite, take a risk and move closer to him instead!?? Get him drunk and kiss him or something !!?? We know you can do it, you used to do it with H and that was just as hard at the time.
Taking you to meet friends 150 miles away is quite a coupley thing to do.. are you going to go? I hope so. I think you seem afraid of making a fool of yourself with him.. but you may as well take a risk and make a move on him, else how will you ever know? He clearly is interested in you, but I think you confuse him and he is NOT getting the green light from you. Thats how it reads anyway. He doesnt want to make a fool of himself, we've all said that before I think, so maybe you should do it for him! It might turn out brilliantly, no need for that sperm donor and if it doesnt.. well then yes, plan B (or D as Kalni says).
I also wouldnt let H know the papers are coming. Dont worry about politeness. He knows he has done wrong and deserves it and its inevitable.. he wont hold it against you, if taht not a wierd way to put it.
