New Here-From Newcomers- hoping for more input...

Well, have had some e-mail conversations with H. This is a fairly safe way for us to talk when he feels like it... He is headed back to his apt today, which I think is good for us right now. He spend 5 nights at the house.

I kept it light and started by asking him about football. He wrote back and told me he was going back to watch football and do stuff around his apt. He said it was good seeing me for a few days and he hoped I had fun. I wrote back that it was great to see him and his smile, and commented that he seemed mentally and physically exhausted- which is understandable given the stress of school. He said he was beaten down, but 1/2 way done with his last year. He repeated that it was good to see me too, and he would talk to me later...

I kept it light and 'as if'. It seems like he needs some alone time again, so I will just back off and wait for him to take the lead again. I am working until Tuesday and he is back in class on Wed. My hope/goal is that he will invite me over to his apt this week/weekend to visit. Back to his turf and his timing.

I'm not bringing up x-mas for a while...
