(((Kalni))) Thank you. I think you are so right about time. I know I will be ok and I knew this time would be hard.
(((Mishka))) thank you
(((MsM))) I don't know why they do and let themselves get influenced! I just tried to be consistent with what I have shown him over the past few months. It could have been so much worse and at least he is willing to help me again! Bonus!
(((T))) You are right, I do think the numbness was a coping mechanism! You would love London I think, so much music and culture! You should visit I prefer North London, not just because I am a North London girl which means I can't go South as there is North/ South snobbery although South London is lovely too, it also has the underground network. I shall post picture when I decide what area I will be in.
(((Ali))) You are right, he was holding himself in check, as was I, and I was not as confident as I would be in a normal situation. All my friends and family are really surprised at what we did, which I take as a good sign. Thank you for your encouragement.
(((Lisa))) The funny thing was I totally won over his sister's boyfriend. He even offered to come back and help me move! So funny! I was able to flirt with him but not h. I suppose I just am afraid of flirting with h; there are still some eggshells there. I hope that they will disappear with time. I really like that we spent time together too, and that he was open to last Friday, in fact he suggested it. Also, that it wasn't just face-to-face meal either and that we did stuff together. The car was great. The best part of the day. I really want to try and do more things like that, cinema, transport museum etc. I hope to be able to build up to that more.
