Well, you were both right. It has not been difficult, so far, working together. In fact, the last 2 days have been good. I go about my day and let him approach me if he wants to. He engaged me in conversation today and let me know he is going back to the gym, had gone this morning. Also let me know he quit sleeping pills about 6 days ago... a small area of contention between us as he relied on them pretty heavily (long family history of insomnia), then he wanted to know about me and if I had run this morning, was I wearing reflective gear, carrying mace etc. Later in the day he winked at me. This is much more like the 'happy-go-lucky' person he was in the past. More importantly, he did it in front of a co-worker that I wondered if he could possibly be involved with. I didn't really think he was but I was looking so hard to see if there was anyone and she was the only person I could think of. I know, I know, it doesn't mean there isn't someone else but honestly, I really don't think there is. I am taking all of these things as small steps but trying to not get too excited about them. I prepare myself that he will pull back again in the near future. I am hoping to keep the lines of communication open enough for him to consider seeing Michele with me. I don't feel like telling anyone at work right now. I had the urge before but I think I can at least wait and see what happens for a little while. I am amazed at how different men and women are in their desire to open up and talk to someone about this stuff. As a woman, it is the first thing I do. As a man, I don't see how you all can hold it in so much! For instance, he spends most of his time with his brother and sister-in-law. The sister-in-law also trains in the same department as him (he is her boss essentially). Her and I just talked yesterday for the first time really in weeks and he clearly hasn't told her anything about what is going on in my life (regarding stuff that I have changed and has clearly bothered him a little) or that he contacts me as often as he does. Yet, he has kept me pretty well up-to-date on what is happening with them. I find it baffling. I would have exploded keeping all of that in! I hope all is going well with both of you, it sounds as though things are?
