One Last Pull for this Knot to Break

[sleeper]

I was the one who expressed interest in this person. At first X did her little head shake thing and waved her hands in the air like she didn't want to hear it. That's the same response I got from her when we separated and I mentioned dating, and when I recently broached the subject of either of us remarrying. X commented at the time that this girl reminded her of herself when she was younger. I replied, "Maybe that's why I'm attracted to her because you're both my type."

She may have tried to fix me up with someone non-threatening back around X-mas (how appropriate). This time I intitiated the conversation.

The last time she thought I was dating someone where she worked she fired them. In anger stage spew she screamed at me her friends and the people she works with were off limits to me. I wasn't going out or trying to go out with any of them. For that reason I would never actually date someone where she works (for their sake).

I wonder if we're flirting with each other through our discussions.

I believe (and our counselor does also) that X's subconscious has already determined the steps to this dance but neither her conscious nor myself are privileged to know what they are.
