Hi Pink,

You seem to have a regular support group here, but I'm going to chime in anyway.

First off, that whole taker thing?
Shut up. smile Take what you need give what you can when you can.

What is wrong with a car ride? Unless I am missing something is there a hotel or overnight stay somewhere? If not, you have been having long conversations with him that have lasted until 1:30 am in the morning.

I'd tone down the whole I love you thing, maybe not bring it up, no relationship talking. I'll even go so far as to say dress up a little bit. Not obviously like a cocktail dress or anything like that, but look...nice.

Let him see what he is missing, but move any relationship talks away from that subject or keep them really short.

I'd suggest that he is comfortable with you, he seems to knows that you are safe, that you would take him back that you want more from him, and are willing to work on it.

I'm not suggesting that this is a game, but it sort of plays like one. I'm not saying lie about anything like how your co-worker asked you out and asking your XH if you should go out with him. Stupid ploy and trick. But to just sort of stop talking about things that will reassure him that your going to be around.

Be friendly with him and confident in yourself.
