Update- I've had two positive interactions with H in the past two days. I need to keep reminding myself to keep my expectations at ZERO though.
I knew I would see H at D17s game the other night. He sat across the gym all by himself. While there, he texted me that he had something of mine and he could give it to me that night or put it in my work mailbox the next day. I did not know what to do. I thought about the advice here and the DB way. Even though I was trying to stay dark, HE had texted ME, so I thought here's a chance to have a positive interaction. I went over to him and we chatted about our Ds and a few other things. It was good with lots of eye contact. He texted me again when I got home and then again the next morning regarding an insurance issue. This was more communication than we'd had in a week.
The second interaction came after work the next day at a meeting. H called me over to talk about something that had happened the night before during the game with D17. Again, good light discussion and more prolonged eye contact. I wanted to leave him thinking about me. I think it worked, but who knows. I have a tendency to overanalyze, so now I need to go dark again.
