I also read men are from mars and thought yeah right but since being at Uni and having done neuropsychology I have discovered that there brains are actually different to ours (shows up on brain scans) and they have different neurological outputs to ours.
So what I am saying here is that as females we will never work out what they are thinking or why (not that I believe we can work out what another person is thinking anyway only what we would think should we be in there position) this I believe is the basis behind not trying to work out anothers thoughts.
Behaviours are much easier - they can be seen (still misinterpreted) he seems to go dark himself possibly when unable to cope with things but now your are unblocked so I guess you could take this as some kind of open invitation - like him opening the door and saying come on in
this is truly another of those boys on one side and girls on the other isn't it
one makes a move and the other has to correctly interpret what the move means
animals beat us hands down, my dog wags his tail and he is saying hey I am happy to see you -he growls (at the the other dog) a clear go away from me.
we on the other hand are rarely that honest even with ourselves.
I guess you will know tomorrow if he responds to your unblock hanging in there with you good luck bj
