Aussie Girl - Trying to be patient

[Essie]

Same here, I had regular 3-4 hour stilted visits since February and it wasnt until recently (April?/May even?) that he said to me that he had enjoyed his day out with me. Up until then, I met him weekly for 3 months and he never said anything!!!

Thanks for helping me lower my expectations. If you hadnt said that I would have been disappointed.... I would also have been disappointed if he didnt comment on how I look - I get that thats unreasonable!

You need to let your barriers down a little and be open and friendly, perhaps you are protecting yourself when he is around and he is picking up on that? You need to be an actress! Thats how I got through all those early meetings in February AND March.

My barriers are so high - its really hard to even lower them slightly. And so I'm going to be an actress! Thanks for reminding me of that. I can act warm and open, even if I'm still scared underneath!
