Since I posted my last update, things have gone well w/GF and I. This week, I had dinner w/her at her house on Monday and was w/her for dinner last night as well. She didn't have her son w/her, but I also decided not to stay the night.
She has been excited to see me and talk w/me. She's been calling and texting as well, which is a bit difficult for her to do at times.
Yesterday, she signed us up to play on her office co-ed softball team - something we've been talking about - and she's really excited for us to start. Today, she talked about my joining the gym where she works out so I can help to motivate her to get in and work out.
These are important "tid-bits" b/c she's normally been very uncomfortable w/these types of things in the past. She's told me how things like playing softball or working out at the same gym have been unenjoyable for her in the past, but now she's doing things to show she's excited about doing these things w/me.
Also, the past two days she's been affectionate and has made sure I give her quite a few kisses before I leave. On Monday, I told her I was heading home and she stopped me and said "Don't I get a kiss?" Last night it was her that "swooped in" for more after I had walked outside to go.
So, I guess things are moving forward for us in the right direction, but as I stated before, I'm not used to this, so my natural reaction is to doubt it and look for reasons to nit-pick.
However, the past few days have opened my eyes to the fact I need to get back to doing things for me which will not only make me more attractive to GF, but - MOST IMPORTANTLY - will make me feel a Hell of a lot better about myself.
In the end, it really is about my being able to take care of myself enough to where I can enjoy the love of a special person w/out compromising who I am and who I want to be.
Ok, I'm heading out now. I'll talk w/you all later.
