Stuck and don't know how to proceed

No apology necessary Puppy! Just wanted to clarify in case it changed the advice/strategy.

Allen - It makes perfect sense to me! LOL

If I go a little dim, he goes a little dim. If I text him funny anecdotes, he follows suit. We go out about once a week, but usually at my suggestion. When we are together we always have a great time, talking, laughing, etc. We became friends again over the last year. But that's where it ends.

He always gives me a kiss goodbye, but it is more perfunctory than anything. I feel as if I'm in the "friends zone" only. In a talk we had a while back, he swore attraction for me has never been a problem. I don't know what to do. I never let on, but it really bothers me that he was affectionate with OW all the time and described their R as passionate and intense. And I get nothing.

I believe that if we could start to reconnect physically (even by just holding hands), then our R could be even better than it was when things were good. The physical was the first thing to leave our M. I don't want to push or pursue, but I'm also tired of not having any affection from H. I crave it so much. I went to a reunion recently and every guy there that I used to hang out with gave me a great big hug. I miss touch.
