H just called and we had a lovely conversation. He led with an apology and thanked me for being strong enough to let him go yesterday when he was upset. I also apologized and thanked him for listening and trying my suggestion. We chatted for a few minutes and made tentative plans to have a date on Tuesday. I told him that I hoped he has a nice weekend, setting the expectation that I won't contact him again for a few days. He ended the phone call with an ILY, which I reciprocated.
So now, I'm pulling back and GAL with a friend tonight.
