H and I had been getting along great. Then yesterday we had a fight. He was trying to make amends, but I was aloof. I told him I needed a little space and that we could discuss things later. He persisted, and I was pushing him away. Then, in the middle of all this, he tells me he's turned on. He goes on to say that he likes this feeling of having to pursue me. He said he'd enjoy it if I am not always available, and he has to work at it. He added, " as long as you do give in and don't reject me too long." So I gave him an eyeroll, but then I started thinking about this whole interaction, that he's giving me a window into what gets him excited, and I should use that in some way. I purposely have been available to him, just going along with things, and in my mind it's been nice. It seems he wants me to create some drama...so do I do this ( which feels manipulative to me) or continue my current nice, loving, non rejecting self?
