My first step out of Newcomers

[Can it work]

Hey there Saffie. I'm reading 'The Quest' by Wilbur Smith. I've not yet decided if it's among his best. These things normally get a lot more exciting towards the end though.

Well, I had my second session with my DB coach last night. I have to admit that I'm really finding it useful. Nothing she's telling me is a surprise really but for some reason she just makes it all seem clearer. She's of the opinion that the recent phone calls and messages I've been getting from my W are a sign that she may now be the one doing the pursuing. I hope that really is the case. I can't help but feel a little cautious that things seem to be moving a little to quickly. I know I shouldn't complain about that but I am a sceptic a lot of the time.

My DB coach says it's now time to up my game a bit. I've been keeping contact with my W to a minimum and speaking only where necessary but keeping it short of being rude. Now I'm still supposed to keep the conversation light but keep it a lot more positive. I should always be keeping my eye open for signs of progress from her though. If she asks me to stick around to have a chat or a coffee or something (which my DB coach thinks she is likely to do now???) I'm to politely refuse some of the times and accept every now and again. Keep her guessing so to speak.

One of the best things I got from my session last night was when my coach told me that even though flirting with my W was a definite no no in the current sitch, there's nothing to stop me flirting and having fun with Wee Man in front of her. That way she can still see me as a fun person without seeing me as a threat to her new found single life. That sounds a lot like what you were doing on Sunday with your kids and H PM. There you go, it has a DB coach seal of approval now. Keep up the good work!

That's me back to work today and it's going to be a busy week for me. I'm getting audited next week so have a lot to do to prepare. It'll be a good way for me to remain focused though.

I'm getting Wee Man tonight too so that's always something to look forward to. It's my turn to have him at the weekend too. To be honest, life isn't too bad right now. Keep smiling.
