{{{{{{{{{{{{FF}}}}}}}}}}}} I'm really feeling for you and normally would try to say something constructive but whereas I can come up with all sorts of ideas on how to manipulate an ice queen I really can't see a way to budge this iceberg. One of the things that is coming over is that you are quite "needy" and this can be a big turnoff for an LD. What about trying something like: Back off on all physical touch (hard to do I know) but spoil him in other ways such as gifts and acts of service. Make the house absolutely spick and span. Decorate a room on your own. Improve the quality the food you make him. Buy him a new shirt. Most of all DON'T BEG FOR GRATITUDE. Let him soak up the love you are giving him in his own time. Gradually add some very small physical touches then one day, surprise him by saying something like "Rape and pillage me you gorgeous Viking hunk!". Let me tell you, that would work wonders for me!
