Sounds like you are on the right track Up. I think I said it already, but it's worth reiterating...don't get excited and chase the squirrel off! Slow and steady....keep the focus on you.
And remember, believe nothing they say and only half of what they do. I made the mistake of putting too much weight on what my XW was saying a few times....each time she really hadn't changed at all. She simply wanted to keep me on the back burner. It's their actions that will tell you where they are going.
