We've been doing a good job of getting closer and in conversation w/ my DB coach this morning, we figured out that she has been flirting w/ me and I need to soften my communications w/ her and try and run w/ it a bit. So, I sent off a flirtatious text when I finished my DB session, but the problem was I received an e-mail from her while I was texting where she called for "emotional space" and wanted to keep all conversations focused on "business."
Hello Rob
It sure seems to me that just as you were identifying the tell tale signs that she has been flirting with you that she too just came to realize that she has been doing that in a nearly subconcious way. So her plea for "emotional space", I think is just another way for her to slam on the brakes due to her surprise that she was gravitating towards you. She so does not trust her own instincts that she is terrified of what path her emotional self is beginning to take her down. It is a spy vs spy battle between her emotional self and her logical self. Let her spar it out with herself until maybe she strkes a healthy balance.
I hope you had a great day. I'll be praying for many blessings for you in the near term.
