Maybe I should be in piecing part 6?

[Hope4us]

Ok, so the rollercoaster continues, but it's on an up swing so I'm going to enjoy the ride. Although it makes me nervous how she's acting......

I had the really bad trigger Monday night and I think W got that I wasn't in the mood to talk. I went upstairs to watch t.v. pretty early.

Tuesday she was an IM'ing fool while we were at work. I didn't want to cut her off, but this week at work is VERY BUSY. So I told her I was just going to have to go.

Tuesday night at home was GREAT. W was VERY talkative so I just let her lead the conversations. We watched some shows on t.v. and talked about how F'd up the "Bachelor" show was. I was surprised to hear W say she agreed with me that it was all fantasy stuff and how can you know a person after 6 dates and how can they be your "soulmate" after 6 dates, etc. She was agreeing with me on all those points and even throwing in some of her own. I was SHOCKED.

So we went to bed at the same time and......ML. Twice in fact .

So I thought, we'll see how Wed is. If she follows her normal patterns, she'll again withdraw from me once we've been intimate. But she didn't! I was busy all day yesterday and didn't talk to her until late in the day. We were talking about what each of us had planned last night and she asked me out to dinner! So we went, had a good time, came home and had a really nice evening with S16. Laughing, joking, etc.

She came to bed shortly after I had and we held hands for a few minutes before both going to sleep.

This morning she was very talkative when she came downstairs and she's IM'd me a couple times already today. I'm VERY BUSY again today so I've had to break off the conversations (good DB without even trying), but it seems that the withdrawing she has been doing after us getting close has not happened this time.

Of course it makes me nervous. Why now? Why not withdraw like before? Is she finally figuring it out?

So one question I have is, at what point is it ok to tell W I love her? I'm not planning on saying it all the time etc, but I haven't told her I loved her for probably 6 months. Is it a good time to throw one out there or should I keep avoiding that pressure and wait? It was so freakin hard to not tell her when we were ML. And the ML was ML, not just sex, although it was pretty hot if I do say so myself.....

I'll trust everyone's opinions on whether or not to tell her I love her.

Talk to ya soon.
