He's a WWS right now so you need to stop listening to what he's telling you... again Michele's book points this out very early on... do NOT listen to what he's saying and listen to only 50% of what he's doing... he's going to be throwing smoke screens at you right now... its just instincts and you need to stop analysing it.
Just clean your lifestyle up in such a way that you appear as trustworthy and mature as possible
Don't play games with him or appear to be playing any.. just tell him straight up what you are doing and let him make his choices.
He is NOT behaving like a normal "man" would right now so stop expecting it.
He's behaving like a wounded animal and you need to handle with care is all. He's cooperating with you so you have a VERY good chance of repairing this... don't push it.
Go feed some squirrels outside or something for practice and watch how careful they are... Watch how midnful they are not to get too close to you ... its good practice for you and will help you learn where your partner is at.
