Not saying you should do it as game playing but.....
There have been instances where the LBS starting to date wakes the WAS up. Now I think you should have better reasons than that to date again, but I've seen it a few times here. Of course with a guy ease your H into the idea. He may blow his top if you told him a guy friend spent the night. Yet saying you are going out to drinks with a guy friend may start blasting an alarm in him. Not to mention how it may help YOU out.
Just for the record this is not typical DB advice, I think this sitch has evolved past what I'd call the DB basics.
