Hey there,

nice new name :-)

I think if you want your marriage, dating right now would not be good. H. is showing kindness, he is engaging in conversation with you, he cares about your feelings.

If he were pulling further away, not responding to your PMA and GAL efforts, I would say you should do what makes you happy and go on a date. But he's not.

If you think you might be happier with someone else and are willing to risk that your H. might get mad, be turned off, and walk away from you, if you are ok with that, than go ahead. But don't do it if your primary focus right now is your marriage. He is giving you something to work with, crumbs I know, its hard. But if it continues this way you can always re-evaluate. For now, just keep on with what you are doing. You are doing great.
