Thanks Bobbi,
I wish I would have read your post prior to leaving for te day....especially the have an enoyable evening part.
I made so many DB errors that I can't even write them all here or I will fill in a couple of pages. Let me just say that right now I am fighting the urge to go n her room and get under te sheets just to hug her (no sexual expectations)..now that is a 180 for me. I am just afraid of her reaction.

Last night.....
-w admitted that she is still confused
-w admitted that i had changed and now listen more..."no matter what happens between us I want you to be my freind"
-w admitted that for some reason related to her childhood she has always ended her relationships....including friendships. She went on to say that she must have a problem becasue unlike me, she has no "real friends. and is not even very close to her family.
-I am convinced with a few other things she said that she is smack in the middle of a MLC...I am also convinced that she would benefit greatly from seeking professional help.

I will spare you all the details but we ended off the evening at home listening to music and sipping a few cocktails.
When she got off the couch to go to bed, she gave me a kiss (on the lips). Not a long one but considering what I have been getting lately, this was a noticeable improvement. I told her I had a very nice evening.
