Each Day is New...

Here's a recap of last night with my W. I think that it went well.

We started out just chatting for a bit and then got into a little
bit of relationship talk. Some of it was hard to hear since she was telling me some more about why she felt like she had to leave, but I validated and accepted what she was saying. We probably talked for an hour or more. This is a big change from Saturday night where she basically pushed me out the door as soon as I got there.

Then we played guitars for a while. I made a few jokes and got her to laugh pretty hard. It was nice to hear her laugh and see her smile. She said that she was hungry a couple times during the night so far, so I told her that I would buy her some fast food. So we went out and brought some back to her place. We watched some TV while we ate and talked a little more about nothing much. Then she asked if it would be weird if we traded foot rubs. I said that I didn't think it would be, so we traded rubs. That's something that we used to do quite a bit, so it was like old times in a way. This may sound weird, but it seemed really intimate because she was enjoying it so much. She must have been feeling really comfortable and relaxed because afterwards she fell asleep with her head in my lap. We stayed like that for a while. I didn't want to leave. I could have stayed like that all night long, but I had to get home to the dogs. As I was leaving, she gave me a really looooong hug and I gave her a kiss on the cheek. Before I could turn away, she grabbed me and kissed me back.

She called me once I got home to tell me good night. And then she made a comment about wanting to come down and spend the night!?! I told her that I wouldn't kick her out if she did. But she said that it probably wasn't a good idea. I didn't argue or push, but was really happy that she was at least thinking it.

So that was my night. I feel really positive about it. I know that the next time that I see her things could be different again, so I'm just going to enjoy the feeling from last night. I ended up spending four hours with her and they were the best four hours I've had in the past 10 weeks.
