Hi cutter and newmama--

Catching up on the threads. Will read LL on my journeys.

Frustrated still, as ever, that I don't have any opportunity to "see what works." If NC, NC! Can't try flirty; can't try aloof (though we know aloof is more of the same!). Sorry if I sound like a broken record.

So while it will be good for future R's to know about LL, at this point I could be an expert on what X would respond well to, but no way to show him.

After the holidays I may try some contact. I know, I know, but the mantra of DB is "try something; monitor; change if necessary." If silence from me brings silence from him...try something else?

Again, it would just be little check in emails about town activities, funny stories, that sort of thing. All I can do is monitor results, right?

I won't do the above, though, without a lot of thought and input from this group!

Let's just get Xmas and NYE over with, and proceed to a new year. This would be a good time for someone to invent suspended animation--just wake up on Jan. 4th and start over.
