TTA, No expectations. I think you are right that he SEEMS to be trying. I think there CAN be hope in that. Here's my debbie downer.... its barely been 6 weeks. Anyone can do anything for that amount of time.
I'd stay warm, but strong. For him, if he's like me this way, doing something for a few weeks is a lot harder than it is for others unless it is really rewarding.
That is where Talia reminds well that caution needs to be. When you are extremely stimulating, but you know that kind of natural reward can't be maintained, then know that he might respond in ways that are his "freight train" style - full steam ahead!
At the same time, who wants to be friends with a wall? Does any man think, "I want that - she's cold, calculated, independent and will never need me?"
