Yes, your message does have an impact on H and he's processing it internally. Let him be..I suspect that he may make a comment to you on this sometime soon.

I would suggest that you mix things up with various non-sexual touches to slowly build up connection between the two of you. A touch on his shoulder, touching his lower back, etc. will aid the process. The one action that I still remember from Ms. Wonka that sticks in my mind to this day. One morning, as she left for work early and I was still asleep in bed, she bent over me gently and planted a soft kiss on my cheek. That was really nice.
