I have not tried that. But he works walking distance from my apt. It would have been easy to 'accidentally' run into him if I wanted to. And when I asked him about the dog, I sent a photo, and he was the one who said I really can't tell by the photo, I'll just come over." But I get what you are saying. I'm pretty sure he wants a 'friends with benefits' deal.
I just don't need this obsessive wondering about where this is going. I feel like I have some addiction to him and I don't feel good about how we interact. There's too many mind games. Too much hot and cold. I know that if I really needed him in an emergency, he would likely drop what he was doing and help me. But I can't keep feeling tethered to him and unable to make a clean break. If he said to me tonight "I want you back" I would be soooo under his spell. But i think that's because I don't know what a normal relationship feels like.
