Working on a friendship

[Belle]

Well, our "date" went well.

I can't say I did a lot of flirting, but I did look good and he noticed.

"Since when do you wear perfume?"

"Why didn't you ever wear jeans like that before?"

"Whoa! Cleavage!"

We went to dinner and then he suggested we go out for dessert after. (I don't think he wanted it to end).

When we left the restaurant I looped my arm through his and we walked together - felt so natural.

Ran into a few tricky conversations: Talked about a couple of people we know that are also separated. H said that it's more accepted nowadays to split up rather than just stay miserable together. I said that yes, it is more acceptable to split up but I also think that that sparks the opportunity for people to change. I said "Like my parents, my Dad doesn't like it when my Mom yells at him or talks down to him. She probably won't ever change even though he's told her he doesn't like it."

H said "It's a little late for her to change, they're pretty old" I replied with an emphatic "It's never to late to change, no matter how old you are, if you want to make the other person happy."

Hopefully that gives him something to chew on.

This am I sent him a text saying I wish he had been at church. My pastor there knows I am separated from H. Others know I'm married and my H is going to chiro school. They have a program where people in the church sponsor students. So someone decided to put my H's name on there even though he's never been to church. So a lady from the church sent my H a card. I think he liked it. So today I said I tried to meet the lady but she goes to a later service. He called me after the text and after we were talking about church and the lady, he said that he may go one of these days!!!! That is so awesome. God is answering my prayers!!!! He has been so adamant about not going.

Anyways, he just called, which sparked me to write my post. He called to tell me that he really enjoyed last night. He was thinking about me and he really enjoyed it and wanted me to know.

All I can say is God is great!
