The slang term for a New Zealander is a 'kiwi' (national bird that is flightless and pretty much blind - New Zealand doesnt have many natural predators so the birds could live on the ground and not worry about being eaten). Also a kiwi fruit - which I think originated in China but NZers have claimed as their own!
H is a kiwi, but I'm an Aussie.
New Zealand is SO beautiful, I highly recommend a trip there, but it is a might long way from the rest of the world!
Thanks for your advice about breaking things so H can show me his love. Apparently my Dad has lined my H up to do work on my bathroom. I wonder is my Dad subtly trying to increase our contact?!?! That's funny if my Dad is a secret match maker! I dont want to be too needy and ask for too much help, but I'm making a point of being very thankful for all acts of service (without being gushy).
It would be nice to think of some ways that I could show H I loved him by acts of service.... but it is tricky with such limited contact. it might come on a bit too strong if I rocked up to his apartment offering to cook and clean for him!
I'm glad you are having great success with counselors.... I have seen one for IC and Marriage C. Definitely the Marriage C did NOT help and was the worst DB-ing move. I didn't find IC all that helpful either.... I've got way more out of reading good books and thinking about things on my own.
I love the international flavour of this board - It would be so cool to actually meet (and I want to see those boots in real life!)
