No longer "stuck808". Now my name is Bond. "MrBond

[MrBond]

Now I'm running into a problem. For the past couple of nights, our talks at night have been very positive and she's engaging in conversation quite frequently now.

The problem is that when I detached, I kept a certain amount of distance from her so that I wouldn't get hurt anymore from her mood swings. But now that communications are getting much better, I find myself feeling apprehensive as to how much to give.

I mean, I definitely don't want to get hurt again, but things are going so much better, I feel that it's time to take the next step (maybe asking her out alone). Should I keep doing the baby step thing or just "what the hell" and do it?

Any one with thoughts?
