See above two posts...
We walked the dogs tonight together. It didn't feel strained (much) or awkward (much). It felt like "us". We chatted about everything but the relationship for almost an hour...then she had to say, "Are you all right?" I replied rather shortly, "I'm fine". She continued, "Well, you've been spending some time with me lately, and I wonder if it's healthy for you. I know you want a friendship or something, but is it healthy for you right now?" I just kind of waved my hand and said "Just...it's fine. It's good for the dogs." We kept walking and finally got back to chatting like we had been before. But what was that? "I know YOU want a friendship". Do I interpret that as her NOT wanting a friendship? Or is she saying "I know YOU want a friendship" and she's thinking to herself that "it ain't happening or that's all it's going to be so stop dreaming because I'm 'one' with the OP now"? I just don't know what to make of that comment.

Well, it wasn't bad overall, though her phone rang as she was getting in her car...I'm guessing it was the OP. Still, she said she'd let me know about if she could walk the dogs with me this weekend, and/or when next week we can go... Guess that's something... Or is it?
