Pommy, I think you're handling it well. You don't want to roll out the red carpet simply because he's bored and wants something to do. All signs point towards classic cake-eating on his part. Keep him at arm's length like you're doing. Keep it up and he'll start learning to miss you. Expect some big-time pursuit because he feels you slipping away as Plan B. If you give in to his pursuit and send him "I'm interested" signals then he will instantly distance and push you away again, because he'll be secure that you are still on as Plan B.
