Actually this is very good Shasha. I have no idea what presidents day is... or when it is...
Think about it. You go there. You have a nice date. But nothing more. And you leave.
Can you do that. Can you just enjoy the company of someone who you have shared a past with. When your with him just talk about your current goals. Keep away from the R talk.
But please make sure you look him in the eyes. Do not be meek. But do not be full of swagger either.
Pre book the hairdresser and a peticure. Prepare for the date. Make this a good time to be you. And when you go out. Enjoy yourself. And do not tag him. Just be you. And just enjoy the evening. Talk about his family. Talk about what he is doing. Talk about what your doing. Talk about current events.
And enjoy the date.
And when the date ends. Tell him that you had a good evening and state that you just want a hug. And hug him and hold him. And then leave.
Next day. Call him and thank him.
But if he cancels. Then you need to set a boundary. He needs to put some effort in as well. You cannot do 100%... just 80%
Good luck girl.
