Talking of DBing and the advice to GAL and act as if you're moving forward with your life to pique their interest..I also said to him that my Mum was sure that he started to sit up and take notice and act to get me back once he found out I was going out more, specifically when he heard about that party I went to with 3 guys and Cher and got in at 7am..that it galvanised him in case he lost me. I said to him, but I didnt think so.. he agreed, no, that had nothing to do with it.. I remember just feeling really glad you were getting out and enjoying yourself (like in a sweet voice, like he was just glad at the time I was doing ok and having fun). I told him I wasnt really, I was trying, but it all felt a bit empty and shallow and I was much more content now than at that time and he looked a bit relieved at that. I asked him if he thinks I SHOULD have dated whilst I was waiting for him to come to his decision to come back, would he have minded now. He said, well, selfishly, I am glad you didnt and I would mind, but I wouldnt have blamed you if you had started to see someone else, I'm sure you got offers.
In fact, I didnt really! Only from my married BMF and two immature 24 year olds who were after a one night stand !!! But I didnt tell him that, hey, its ok to keep some things back
