Courtney,
When he backs off, then back off. When you are backing off, work on self-love. Compliment yourself and work on your goals and life purpose. If he gets warm again, get warm again. Maybe be the first to end the conversation but very politely. Let him be the
first to text. Immerse yourself in your goals and life purpose which makes you even more attractive. If he never gets warm after awhile, make the decision to go on with your life and forget about him and follow a strict no-contact rule. Dedicate your energy to yourself and your life and self-love and what makes you excited about life other than a guy. You’ll only become stronger, wiser, and happier for the next guy and it will work out much better.
