I feel that after Thursday night we've gone back into Stage 1 of the cycle. I invited him for dinner tonight and he declined. It would appear that the friendship stage will have to be slowly approached again. I guess I wanted things to go a little quicker than they were going. Patience is key to all of this and I think I got a little ahead of myself.
Time to pull back and regroup. I won't initiate any activities for a while and give him time to pull back a bit too.
