I think that this is some very good progress. Just getting to the point where you can have a good time with him is Huge. It is all about setting that doubt in his mind and having a great time together is the perfect way to start that.
I think that you DB very well that night. it is a very fine line between showing support and showing honest vulnerability, I think that for now the supportive friend is the absolute best game plan, but sometimes for your own sanity some things will come out and if they are honest and tempered I think he will slowly be able to handle them.
All the things that you have on your plate right now sound, great. I love the idea of the hiking club. Since I have been back on the west coast I keep dreaming of getting back into camping and hiking but have been slow to act. There is so much of that I need to start taking advantage because I have been deprived.
Hey pisces where is your new thread at?
