Had a Xmas party with my sailing club on Friday night, W couldn't go because of the shop, but I went anyways, dropped off the boys at her shop on the way to the party (she had agreed to that). Went in dressed up, smelling nice (thanks Sandi for that advice I think it helps a LOT!), talked for a little bit and left. She told me to tell everybody hi from her... was a little confused on that, because she doesn't know these people barely at all....??
On Sat, there was a Xmas parade and so I hung out at her shop for a little bit while waiting for the parade and things were very relaxed. I was able to keep myself very detached and it was good!
Had a good date with my W last night, went to see a movie and had a quick bite to eat before. We had great conversations just about all kinds of things, just like old times again... But I was able to be detached, act cool and be a best friend. So I think it went good!
Footnote: I would still like a woman's perspective on the post above... Thanks in advance!
