Hi Edz, yes it's a funny dynamic isn't it - the feel of 'waiting.' I guess that's why we GAL and extend our own lives so we don't feel 'on hold.' But I'm sure many of us still do to an extent.
But I also get this feeling with H - about not wanting to be the one that actually brings an end to things. In a way it's mindreading though. Our S's may just be confused, or warming a little towards the M again...or not - we just don't know.
I get your frustration on the text thing. Earlier in our sitch, H went through a horrible phase of very curt one or two word texts - OK - Yes - Done...which was tough. He has warmed up with those more recently and is 'nicer' by text. It's good that your W was in touch about a positive thing after the texts that you thought were a bit 'cool' - but maybe they were just functional - IDK.
Edz, only you can decide if/when you want to think about dating again. It's a very personal thing, and as you read on these boards, there are varying views on it. But I think it's always a good plan to build up healthy GAL activities that you genuinely find rewarding and to fill your life with those first...with no big decision or soul searching needed.
