hey there, Well there were some interesting points here and they are well-taken. I am a bit confused though, because in the "GAL" advice, I have done that...and that is what the gym/taking my daughter to dinner is all about. I've been doing these things and I also have another child to take care of. Just because he moved further away, why should I alter my life when the difference is only 1/2 hour? and Of course that particular night, I got lost and it did take longer, but it was not intentional and I kept him updated with text messaging the whole time.
I dont know, maybe we've both become comfortable in our own lives that we now have? But then again, on Christmas, he didn't intend to stay for dinner, but he was there hooking up my dvd and since it was almost ready at the time he picked up our s, I asked if he wanted to stay and so he did. He also wanted to buy me a Christmas present as a "friendship gesture"..he knew I wanted to continue learning to play guitar so he bought me a beginner acoustic. He also did the one-armed buddy hug as he left on Christmas. I will take that for what it's worth..a friendship gesture and try not to read into it too much right?
