My Journey Begins...New here

[thba]

Thanks people!!! That was a much needed 2 x 4!!!

I tend to over think things and as you all pointed out have expectations. I want everything to be great and perfect and it is tough to just "Let it happen". But you all are right; it will happen on it's own accord and hopefully the end result will be great.

I will continue the original game plan of showing her the areas I have changed and be attentive to areas that still need improvement without expectations. ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS!!!

We have for the most part been civil with each other for about the past 6 months and the friendship part started creeping in about 2 months ago. These are two items that I believe have got us to where we are today. I agree that building this friendship will build the intimacy part. Boy is it tough having her sleeping next to me and not being able to ML to her!!! It's been a LONG time and I almost feel like one of the lions on Animal planet about to pounce on his prey!!! Gotta be a good boy right?!?! Not to get to carried away with this, but as far as this topic is concerned, do I let her initiate this or can I try to suduce her at some point? and at what point would that be? Just had to laugh at myself, do the rules of dating apply here? See, here I go thinking again....
