Noticing the rings, kiss on the cheek, sticking around talking to you.... all good stuff.
I don't see where you did anything wrong. Ok, so a little R talk but really... it's not like you said anything crazy, begged him to stay or said ILY. I don't think you said anything bad.
I know that half-hug.... my H has always done that. Drives me nuts. He's done it since we started dating so I don't think men do it as emotionally detached, I think they do it to protect themselves from intimacy. I don't think it's a big deal. Guys, input here?
You went to your friends and cried.... who wouldn't? Don't beat yourself up. You didn't fall apart in front of him, you didn't cry in front of him (tearing up is human). You kept it together all the way until after work?!!! WTG!!!!!!
I think you're far, far too hard on yourself.
Who says you have to wait for him to make the next move or call for dinner? Move on and GAL and if he calls, ok, he calls. If not, you won't be waiting by the phone.
Seriously, pat yourself on the back!!!! You did a good job!
