Hairy, I only watched that movie once and it scared the dickens outta me. I read the book, also, when I was going thru a Stephen King phase in junior high. Yuck. I hate scary movies and books and had nightmares forever. These days, I can't even watch Law and Order without jumping out of my skin. What a wimp, I know.
Maybe he does want to pursue me. He has never been comfortable in that role, and has expressed that to me numerous times. He does not like to initiate and doesn't want to have to show desire. But...stranger things have happened. Personally I think he was just feeling nervous over why I hadn't wanted him since the previous week..had he done something wrong...was I biding my time until a big blowout, etc.
It's awful that he thinks this way but I can't say it is without justification.
