Thank you! I'm fine at work--rather outgoing most of the time, have some almost-friends there (or potential friends? don't know how to put it).
As for why he told me about that...that's a good question. It was part of an explanation about it not devastating him when she said she couldn't see him any more, which was part of a larger explanation of healing. Why do I REALLY think he told me? to reinforce that he's not ready for a relationship (at least not the kind he'd have with me) and he is trying to put himself out there as he wants me to do (altho I think he might just freak out if I did). He also feels like I'm the person he can talk with about anything (so, what does that tell him?) and if we're not defining this as a "relationship" then it's probably okay. But honestly? It's a way to keep me at a distance. I hate to project motivations, because that's a "thinking error" that has gotten me into trouble elsewhere in the past. But that's what it feels like. Perhaps I should ask him.
