H never came back 5

[MichelleLT]

Yeah, it was a surprising and wonderful evening. But I'm sure he's gonna need time to deal with OW and really figure out what he wants. I am really trying to put myself in a more dating frame of mind - not expecting phone calls every day etc. Except it's a bit hard to do since we didn't really have a dating phase the first time around.

One of the more vulnerable things H said was that what if he leaves OW and we try and make it work and it doesn't? I said I'd had that thought myself, but he could always D me later (while smiling). He laughed and said that's true.

It was VERY hard, but I made a point of keeping things light. Listening, not interrupting, smiling, making lots of eye contact, and making a few jokes to lighten the tension and keep things from getting too serious.

I am so glad I wrote that letter!
