Quote: He swears up and down he doesn't want to get back together, and yet as we were making love last night, he brought up the first place we kissed and some other good things about our relationship.
Maybe it's not you he's trying to convince--maybe it's himself.
Quote: I'm still over-thinking why H would go through all this convoluted BS...
Careful--it will give you a migraine. I know it sucks, but try to see what you have with him right now as nice, and not expect anything more. He'll be able to sense that attitude, and it will get his attention. The less you pursue him (even in your mind...it sort of trickles out in your actions) the more he will want to get close to you.
