mdu, that was my point above, although I did not say it well. I think you want to give him the impression that you are happy and happy to be with him and happy spend time with him and to build a new relationship with new, positive memories. Men don't like to feel rejected and I don't think the pursuit issue applies in your context right now in a sort of pre-pieceing or re-piecing stage. Figgeroni said it way better than I did.
You are on the right track, I think, with the cooking and lunch ideas.
