1. I think they are afraid to be drawn in by our actions and then be hurt again. I think when they keep telling us how there is no hope...nothing has changed....it's too late...they are also trying to tell themselves. 2.

I think the only thing that caused me to wake up and see I really did want him was for him to withdraw. Sooo...we do need to be careful...we certainly can't completely withdraw, but all the stuff in the LRT that talks about GAL and being a bit mysterious...causing H to think maybe they've lost us might help.
