she's not going to pull a gF W on me. I think she genuinely wants to maintain a friendship after D and she might be realizing that for that to happen she needs to be more proactive. Or maybe she just wants to catch up since she'd like to hear about Scotland and tell me about her visit to see some mutual friends. In any case, it's a nice gesture.
Yes, bridge - interesting word choice, huh? I guess what I find interesting is that the word draws attention to itself. If she had simply asked, "Would you like to have dinner?" I don't think that is NOT being considerate of my feelings. By putting "consider" in there it puts a twist into things.
Agghh, but why am I analyzing this much! See, this is what happens! Pay attention, all you DBers out there - this is exactly how you drive yourself crazy! DON'T READ TOO MUCH INTO THINGS!
lol - lodo
ps - paper is 4 pages longer. I think I can add some figures, too. Always a good strategy.
pss - although, 9 years ago she DID pull a gF W on me under identical circumstances. It's SO hard for me, and has been all along, not to think that things will play themselves in the same way. But this time more damage has been done, by both of us.
