You get a great big "atta-girl" from me.....Way to go girlfriend!!!

A walk on the beach......a perfect atmosphere to encourage a friendship!!!!!

I think that was very smart. You gave H the opportunity to see that you are a wonderful woman. Certainly not the enemy that his thoughts portray.

It's huge that H even accepted the invite and didn't get cold feet and cancel out.

It's huge that H was comfortable enough to stay and walk for an hour.

It's huge that the conversation flowed and was not awkward.

It's huge that H walked you to your car.

The thoughts and warm, fuzzies you gave to H, by means of friendship and relaxing conversation will have an impact on him.

My guess is that hour has replayed through his mind many times.

It is from encounters just like this that a comfortable friendship will emerge. It is only after the friendship is rebuilt that the relationship can move to another level.

I would be certain that H will accept another invite from you. You need to be careful that it is not too soon. If you go forward very soon, H will back off. H will back off because he will assume you are pursueing. Treat H with gentle nudges. Easing him into a frienship will show him you are changed and genuine. Remember to leave all R talk at bay. Only discuss it if he is willing. H is only going to proceed with caution. He is watching you for sure and that was a perfect place for him to see you in a relaxed, comfortable, happy frame of mind.

I actually have the thoughts that H enjoyed it very much. I wonder if he might initiate an invite.

I can see that you are not ready to give up the fight and therefore you should not. This is an example of great DB!!!
