Hi Sotto. Generally sounding good , NG may be caught up in his own world right now or maybe not. Slow and steady and let him make the running now you've shown him some attention

The rejection thing I get and agree with especially right now after your recent D You have time on your side so be comfortable with any choice you make. Risks can be taken once your in a more secure place emotionally

Just my pennies worth

Take care. Rd xx
