I am proud of you!! You aced the dinner and really came through on things. Sounds like given what she said, that helped make it easier news to deal with : ) And I think I know exactly what you mean about feeling down the next day, even though things went so great the night before. Of course you miss her! And you now have a semi-solid sense of her wanting to move toward reconciliation...I think it's pretty natural to just want to be reconciled already!! BUT, this is the time to follow her lead. There's not much to be confused about in a sense...look back over what you told us she has said to you: go slowly, no smothering with emails/texts, let her set a pace, etc. That's a lot of info on how to proceed from here! Just follow her excellent guidance and keep looking after yourself. There will probably be some bumps, but that's okay...the big picture is looking pretty darn positive to me.
