I think that was a good txt message. It was positive and not pushy. H maybe just thinking. Tell your friends just to act like they did when you guys went out before all of this went down. The first "date" I had with W was at a job related social event. Not everyone at the table knew what was going on, but the ones that did played it cool. Like nothing ever happened. It worked out pretty good for me. It was nice that W had some one else to visit with beside me. It cut down on the stress of talking to each other the inter time. It was hard to think about things to talk about other things beside our sitch.
H will come along, but he maybe a little specious of your motives, so try and convince him it just away to get together for a good ole time. That is, after all, that is what it is all about. To spend time with each other just to have "A" good time. Relax and be your new self.
Keep You Eye on the GREEN. One stroke at a time. Slow and steady swing. Play the hole that you are on and don't worry about the next hole until you get ready to Tee off for it.
