Willing,
I keep questioning a lot of the DB stuff, so hearing you guys re-affirm it really helps keep on track. W just called to let me know the C wants to continue seeing us separately for now. I though that might happen, but was hoping for one together to set common goals or something. (OK probably just me wanting to have more contact with W). It is what it is.
Don't have the quote thing figured out just yet, bear with me!
As for the Friday date, I had sensed an uneasiness when I asked her. So, when she called I asked if she was still up for it. She said since we saw each other (briefly) the last 2 days, she rather not. She suggested Sunday again. I moved for a zoo trip, but she said she hadn;t planned on an all day thing. I dropped it and said I'd just talk to her early afternoon and we could go from there. Last Sunday I did keep it light and she was the one to bring R talk after dinner. Will definitely do the same. Problem: I'm finding just how far we drifted b/c it's harder to talk, or get her engaged in a convo. Guess I have a few day to fill up on my convo ammo. I find myslef talking more than W due to this, which is circumventing my aspiration to just shut up and listen.
Back to the C, W really liked her. I do not know if she is solutions based. Did not ask 1st time. To be honest, I chose her b/c she is lterally in an office at the end of our street. I was going for convenience for my W! W has an appt next Thurs, so I am actually feeling pretty good after a crappy sad day. I don't really get too personal with work people, so only a few know. Had a sales guy keep asking about my plans and W and all this. Really awkward.
I have determined that when I talk to W, I'm happy, even if it ain't so great. When I don;t hear, I'm sad. But, when I leave msg, text with no response, I'm downright depressed. So, will fight to leave it alone. Like you said, no pressure.
She also asked me to dogs Sat as she is visiting a friend. I hesitated until she said she did not have to go if I could not. I will be in town, so I said yes. I also it would give me a chance to work aorund the house. Kicking myself for that, just should have done the work, not said anything. Live and learn.
Overall, W sounded in very good spirits, which menas I am too. I have been very worried about her sadness. It kills me to know she's going through this too. I've asked several mutual friends to call her from time to time. Made sure not to call on my behalf, just to call and let her know she still has friends.
OK, this is long. More to say on diff subject after a bit.
