Hi everyone. Got back from Fla last Friday evening but have been too busy to post before now.

I'm not going to go into a play by play detail of the whole trip, but on a scale of 1-10, I'd give it probably a 7. But there's still something holding her back.

We had a great time. Talked, talked, talked. Had one of the most erotic encounters of my life. Probably should have been kicked out of the resort pool as I'm sure some of the other 20+ people in the pool had a clue what was going on, but lets just say it was HOT, HOT, HOT. Had to run back to our room to take care of my end of the encounter as W had her end completed in the pool . Of course, we had to wait 10 minutes until I could get out of the pool without causing a scene .

We ML one other time while we were there. Another pretty darn hot time if I do say so myself.

Lots of hand holding, plenty of body contact, talk of the future, etc. A number of times, she initiated the hand holding. We saw an elderly couple walking around one day and W said "that's going to be us some day". I made a comment to W about the pearl ring we got her last time we were to Disney and how I'd never seen her wear it and she commented that she's tried her "rings" on a few times, but it just looks weird to her.

All sounds good right? It was, but there's still something holding her back. And there's still her being secretive and out right lying to me about phone calls she gets, etc. And that's a big sticking point for me.

Case in point, Friday evening I was driving my mom home from watching S17 for us and W was TM'ing me like crazy. In the 6 hour round trip I'll bet we traded 150 TM's. But at one point I had sent her a TM and she didn't respond for about 15 minutes. So I sent another one and she said she was in the kitchen getting something to drink. So today I checked the cell website and she had received a call from her old boss at that exact time. Lasted 11 minutes. One other time during the trip he called her and she didn't answer as neither of us heard the phone ring. A little later she looked at her phone and I saw that she had a missed call from him and she didn't say a word to me about it. That was after the day before he called and left her a message that she told me about because she almost had to and gave me what sounded like a b.s. story about his message.

Not sure what to think about that. One one hand, I can appreciate her trying to protect my feelings as she claims they're "just friends" (which I believe), but on the other hand she just doesn't realize how much it hurts me for this to be going on. The question is, what to do about it? Confront and risk losing the progress we seem to be making because I "invaded her privacy" or let it go since we are making progress and trust that she'll be more open with me as we do make that progress.

There's more, but that's the highlights. I'll post more when I have time.

Hope.
