What I wo

He will touch me in some positive way besides a casual hug (which I got from him last night). I am looking for a kiss or something tender.

He will call me on a Sunday or Wednesday. Those are the only 2 days we don't see each other.

We will watch a movie or T.V. show together.

I wish I knew EXACTLY how to trigger his positive feelings.

Dating other people was a 180 and triggered the first change, but my therapist said I jumped too quickly "back into the box" he had me in. So, I guess distancing is appropriate, although I will not be dating anyone else.

Pursuing behaviors I need to stop are
-saying "I love you"
-pointing out the good (and remember when...?)
-asking for reassurances (and asking questions about his feelings/the relationship in general)
-trying to schedule dates together.

Taking a deep breath, praying, and crossing my fingers that I'll be strong and this will have the desired effect.
