I am OVER THE MOON for the results of the night out with B! WOWSER! OOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! KABLOOOOOMMMMMMMM!
I LOVED!!!!!!! the sock comment- I smiled so hard when I read it and now I feel like I was part of your night out. And I love the naughty song singing too- those were both great baby steps- moments of connection that I think are SOOOOOOO positive. Who would ever have imagined that that would have happened on the first meeting?!!!!! GREAT!
Everyone else has also listed positives, so I won't go over it all, but I think the cheesecake, his eyes lighting up, the eye contact, the brushing arms, his text, all are so positive!
Don't worry too much about thinking that there's a stranger in B's body. Honestly, it took about 6 months of weekly meetings and daily e-mails post bomb for me to see a vague glimmer of my actual H in H's body. YOUR B is in there somewhere- he's just in a slightly different place right now. I think it's good that he's happy with how things are for him right now- I agree that if he's happy it's a much better foundation from which to build a new R. Maybe things will move more quickly than with the H's who need to fix themselves before they can do anything else.
I like the e-mail you sent B. Let's see what he does next. I thought his eyes lighting up about you being in NYC after Lyrica was a great positive. Hopefully he'll arrange to do something togeher again. It sounds as though he really enjoyed your time together- if he hadn't he wouldn't have suggested dessert. Oh, and another thing to not worry about- B not mentioning your appearance. My H has only said I look nice (just that- you look nice (ugh)) once post bomb. I don't think it was because I looked bad because the same day, CEO had told me I took his breath away. Anyway, so I think they just don't say these things for whatever reason.
I LOVED that your bra lace was on show- HOT! I bet he noticed that and had to fight to stop his pants from exploding in case his zipper flew off and hit you in the eye
WELL DONE T!!!!!! I'm so happy you had a good time (and sorry for rambling!)
