@belesco01 Maybe that is a good idea, distance yourself for a day or two, don't like completely cut yourself off, but lessen your hold.
For example, say you text each other every second of the day, cut back to a few messages here-and there each half hour. Let him notice something is up, or that you really are thinking about your feelings for him, that he doesn't believe.
Maybe, I dunno, make something to show him your feelings, make a little notebook of notes that are just little things you think of when you think of him, favorite memories, things you want to say or whatever.
You have to figure out a way to prove it to him.
