Plank removed from eye, too late for WAW? 8

[Heimlich]

Thanks, everyone, for the kind thoughts.

OT, GD, Puddle -- I know you are all right, except that I can't get rid of that little voice that says getting her to talk somehow/someway is the way back. There's a good chance that voice is wrong, but I'm just not sure.

OK, so I did ask her to lunch yesterday. I was a little emotionally vulnerable and she was just looking extemely cute. As you would expect, got a non-committal "We'll see/maybe" or something to that effect, but not a complete shoot down. Somewhere in between maybe and hell no, if that makes sense. Wish I hadn't, but c'est la vie.

I stayed at her parents' on the way down. When I was leaving, her dad said something about "I haven't talked to her in about 2 months." She used to talk to her parents at least once a week. Her parents disagree with her decision and would prefer that we work things out. Anyway, I said something to the effect of 'Give your dad a call, he misses you. Don't push him away just because they disagree with what's going on between us.' She didn't really acknowledge, so I said something else like "It's your decision to push me away, that's fine. He's your dad, don't do this to yourself." She fired back with soemthing like "I heard you and don't need a lecture." I said, I'm not trying to lecture you and I know I say the same basic thing over occassionally, it's just the way I talk sometimes. For your dad to say something like that to me is pretty big and I thought you ought to know.

Said goodnight and went back inside my apartment.

Need to get to the house and retrieve the last few items that I need for the house -- photos and things like that -- to show her that I'm not hanging on but starting to really move on.

Anyways, back to work. Blech.
