THE SHORT ANSWER
Communication signals are useful only as patterns. One message can reflect mood, timing, or style; repeated initiation, clarity, and follow-through reveal actual investment. In this case, initiating repair is a positive signal only when the rest of his behavior is clear, respectful, and consistent.

What makes this signal mean more.
