So W called me in the AM at work today while I was in meeting. Called her 40 min later. I guess she just called to talk, she was at Starbucks with our youngest D hanging out (her daycare provider is on vacation this week so we are doing half days with her). W said something about being hungry. I asked her if she wanted to grab some lunch. She said, yeah but she needed to call her cousin to cancel cause she had just called her cousin to see if her cousin wanted to have lunch, W said she was going to ask me but figured I was busy (since I hadn't called her back?). She calls cousin and calls me back and says she is in the mood for sushi and suggests some places near where we live that we've been too. I say let's try somewhere fun and new instead. She agrees and suggests a place her friend just told her about and we meet there with our D2.

Nice lunch, I did lot of the looking deep into eyes eye contact. Said her hair looked beautiful in the sun and her eyes looked gorgeous with the way she did her eyeliner. She's still seems uncomfortable with me saying stuff like that and quietly said 'stop it' though I think she still likes the compliment in some way (this is one of those hang ups I think of her having the trust wall up). I stopped it, but I still feel I need to say stuff like this from time to time to make sure she knows I find her sexually attractive and am not gay best friend. Should I stop/continue this sort of stuff??

We had a nice lunch and our D2 actually behaved well so we could talk. She showed me some more funny stuff from her facebook that we cracked up about. At the end, she said she was happy we tried somewhere new and even D2 had joined us and asked me if I liked it and I said yeah it was a great suggestion of a place she made and thanked her. On way out, she said something about she needed to give her baby some hugs and kisses since she was going to work, and I said what about D2? She said 'stop it' again and gave some hugs and a kiss to our little one then gave me a hug and left for work.

I told her at lunch I was taking the girls tonight to the concert thing we had talked about the day before and invited her to come as well that it would be fun if she could make it. She said she definitely would try, that she really wanted to.

So, there we are. There's this growing warmth between us, but RobX suggests it is gay best friend but I am hopeful it is her heart beginning to soften a little from the hurt and mistrust. How to tell?
