I want to quickly address two points that I think I was vague on the softball and exercise/gym points, so I'll clarify a bit.
Playing softball was my idea and I initially told her I'd look for a team for us to play on (or at least for me if she wasn't interested). She found one at work and signed us up, so I said great and just ran w/it.
She's played w/a significant other before and had a bad experience, so her being willing to play w/me is a big step for her and it also is a bit of a lowering of her guard too.
As for the gym, I'm not currently a member of a gym and she had mentioned wanting to get back exercising regularly again. I mentioned that it is always nice to work out w/your partner as it motivates you both as well as is a good way to bond.
She again had a previous experience w/working out w/someone she was involved in and said there was no way she'd ever work out w/me for that very reason. I said ok and continued to work out on my own.
However, a few weeks ago, she asked me if I'd be interested in joining her gym so we could work out together and push each other. I said sure and will be joining her gym soon.
I guess I just wanted to clarify and state that I'm not blindly following her and letting her lead, but I've been in the forefront and have continued to do the things I wanted. As she's becomming more comfortable and trusting w/me, she's letting her guard down and asking if we can do some of the things together that I've suggested.
Ok, I hope this makes a bit more sense. I've got to go and teach the young leaders of the future now.
