I wouldn't call us "piecing" because I thought that was when you verbalized wanting to be together. So are we pre-piecing?
Sure, that's a good way to think about it. I think you're doing the right things, just keep DB'ing and giving him space, let him pursue while you hold your position. Are you familiar with the squirrel analogy? It's like you're trying to feed a squirrel, you have to hold perfectly still with the food and let him come to you. If you make a sudden move towards him he will freak out and scurry right back up the tree. So just stand like a statue (stick with DB'ing, GAL, PMA) and let him come to you ever so slowly. You cannot speed the process up.

I'm just being nice and giving him all the room he might want to think things out, without any pressure. I'm still focusing on me and what I need to do for me and to be better in regards to our M than I had been. No unnecessary qs, no asking about us or how he feels, no confrontation of any kind.
This is EXACTLY what you should do!! Nice work, stick with it

It just feels sad to me sometimes that we haven't held hands or slept together in almost a month. I don't know if there's something I should be doing in addition to what I'm doing?
No. Remember the squirrel! This isn't the time to lose patience.

It's like dating all over again, trying to read the signs of a new love interest, seriously. It's odd!
Yes! That's it exactly And like when you're dating, you get the best results if you refrain from pursuing, be coy, show some interest but not a lot, act "as if" your life will be fine with or without him.
