Thank you for your remarks. My sitch seems to be looking up. And Thank You for letting me elaborate on my sitch. I am looking forward to thing heating up in ILL.
It is time to concentrate on you and your sitch. Have you picked a nice quit place for dinner with H?
Five or fewer days left before the end of the semester. Your study time will pay off for you. I also know you will be relieved for this semester to come to an end and put it behind you. I know you are going to work as much as you can over the holidays, but remember to take some time for yourself.
Drunk or sober two way communicating with H is good. It is better sober, but at least it is communication. You should try to make as much hay as you can with H at dinner. However, play your cards close to your vest. Pay attention to the lay of the land. Use your gut feeling and your women intuition to determine how strong and far you can go (push) on this first dinner date. You may find having a friendly, relaxing, and enjoyable dinner with H may open him up to having more dinners together. When you can bring up each topic as you need to.
RULE OF THUMB. Do not make more than 3 negative remarks or criticisms of what your H has or has not done during any of your meetings with him. He will quit lessening after that and turn you off. You do not want to turn him off.
Play it cool. You need to show you are in control, but not controlling. He need to see that you are capable of handling yourself, without the need of his shoulder.
