Totally love MHL tactics, honestly the only way to push him forward is to give him a taste/reminder of what he can have..
I know Mr Rabbit didnt have a GF but when he finally came back looking for me after I went NC, he got the full on sex kitten in his face! I do think you need to kick this up a level and let him see a bit of spice wink wink!
No you dont want him to be your friend, so show/remind him what his lover used to be like.. Some times its a bit of nothing ventured nothing gained!
Jody's insight is fab, but you need to decide how long you can be just a friend!
