Jon - I hope you are right that "don't pursue" may not completely apply to me. Puppy is probably going to kick my butt for this, but...
WAW and I are going out for dinner this coming Saturday night - at my request. I suppose it's a date of sorts, but I really just wanted some time to talk to her (not about anything serious) in a neutral location without interruptions or worrying about the kids overhearing things if talk does turn to more serious matters.
I have no problem with this. It's good that YOU initiated it ("leading"), and so long as you can keep your "NO EXPECTATIONS" mantra in check, and "NO R TALKS" you'll be fine. It's better than the boob-grabbing, LOL.
I DO think you will get a little pursuit from HER, either during this date or immediately following, and I'd advise you ahead of time to play it cool.
Glad to hear you were the first to end the text exchanges last nite.
