The blue dress sounds ultra foxy! Cello isn't the most ladylike of instruments with legs akimbo!
I can see why you wouldn't want to combine the sources of stress, on the other hand B may be a good sounding board. It seems as if he has used and appreciated you being there for him in dilemmas lately and stated that it had been really helpful to talk things through with you. Would it be a 180 to discuss things with him?
Also, would sending the pic and recording be a 180 weird or just weird weird? I don't know what others think on these things...
I quite like the idea of arranging something in December... NYC at Christmas! You could do fun Christmassy things... ice-skating or such like and showing off your new found flirtatiousness.
Lol! Tell me to back off if you like. I'm just throwing ideas out there, hoping not to compound your stress levels anymore.
I'm excited by your sitch T. I think the fact that he sent you such a timely text is great!
