Yes, that's sort of what I meant, CW. Tiptoeing, to me, is proceeding cautiously...as opposed to walking on eggshells, where one is in fear of making one false move.
In any case, I am fairly comfortable with where we are right now. Back to "slow and easy, let's see where it goes, no forced outcomes or expectations".
We are going to a yacht club meeting together on Thursday night, then she has asked me to stay overnight "if I want to". The next morning we are headed to Seattle for 3 days. It's our 28th anniversary that weekend, and we are going down to hang out, see the sights, go to a concert (Dave Matthews / Dalai Lama), and do some shopping.
Also, I'm sure we are seeing if we can stand each other for 3 days in a row, after being separated 3 months!
