Okay, okay. I guess I did leave you hanging, didn't I. Hate to see Corri apoplectic.
After we put our daughter to bed, we were hugging as if we were saying goodnight, then I guided her by the hand to the couch, sat down, then had her sit on my lap. She threw her legs up on the couch, laying across me, and looking closely into my eyes. She didn't have any problemt with it so far. I held her firmly, and we had our chat. She basically agreed to everything that I said, and mentioned that she wanted to learn to be friends with me again, and to learn why she originally fell in love with me. She asked me to please be patient with her. I then kissed her softly....she's not willing, it seems, to kiss deeply...and left for the night.
We met again today for a party, and had a nice time. We sat together, and I would kiss her cheek or her shoulder, and be attentive to her as much as possible. When we got home, we put the daughter down for a nap, and I left so she could have some quiet, alone time. I went to a Laker game with a buddy tonight, and on the way home I stopped to buy a card with a harmlessly romantic message on it, and wrote something nice for her. I wanted to slide it under the front door, but it wouldn't go, so I knocked on the door, and handed it to her before kissing her goodnight.
All in all, it was a very satisfying weekend. I asked her what was different for her about the weekend, as compared to recent months. She said she thought it best to be a friend to me, after what's gone on at work this past week. Even though the weekend was nice, here's my question: Does she just want to be friends with me, or do you see some potential in her actions towards me? Six months from now, am I still just going to be her friend? How *patient* should I be? Is this just a new way of hers to keep me at a distance? Is she enjoying my company, while fantasizing about a fireman? Pardon the negativity; my actions are genuine and loving, and can continue to be, but me thoughts go elsewhere sometimes.
