From the Darkness Comes the Light!

The best part about being the LBS is time. Time is on your side.

Maybe she is trying to be friends to make it easier.

If so, you can always stop being her friend at any time.

Personally, I don't see that.

You have to have friendship before you can have romance here. So don't blow off the friendship like it means nothing. It is a step in the right direction.

As for whether any of these baby steps we point out to you are really positive...at this point, anything that's not a severe withdrawal or filing for D is a baby step. Everything not obviously negative is a positive. Nothing is neutral here. She doesn't have to contact you. She doesn't have to talk to her SD. She doesn't have to do anything.

She is choosing these things.
