SoleS, i definitely think the signs are there based on the blatent clues the mother has left you. Women tend to be coy when they leave any clues at all (if they even leave them). I believe the obviousness of her clues shows a valid interest, short of her just coming out and saying "hey boy, just get your nose on my stinkies" LOL
i do think it might be good to let the breakup have a little time, since it recently happened, but that thing about the meaningful sweater is the perfect reason for you to need to go back at some point.
eadster is right about the craving. and while i do agree that absense makes the heart grow fonder, i also believe that finally knowing is a whole new feeling of it's own. for instance, i had a chic who i was obsessed with for years. and then when i tracked her and realized she was passing through my town briefly, i set up an encounter with her and i finally got to have her feet the way i wanted it.
i'm talking about my own quest to finally have the feet of this girl right here:

the chase built up my cravings but finally getting the real deal was even more heaven since she met so many of my expectations
YUM YUM, SNIFFY SNIFFY, STIFFY STIFFY!!
