Guess I shouldn't have even worried about whether or not to call her.
She just initiated contact again. Another facebook chat:
She: Up already huh and on facebook (has she been on there waiting for me?) Me: hey goUod morning. how was your night?
She: it's alright 7 patients in here now (she's an Emergency Room nurse working night shifts) Me: anything interesting?
She: not really. how was your night? Me: good thanks, slept really well. (long pause. usually at this point I would have asked or added something and tried to lead the conversation)
She: good just thought I'd say hello have a good day Me: you too! She: thx
And that was it. You all have really got me thinking.
Would it now be good to call her while she is driving home? Or should I just keep on waiting for her to continue contacting me?
This is interesting.
And I gotta tell you "interesting" feels a whole better than "afraid."
Enjoy your day!
I know I will! Even if I make mistakes!
I'd say let her reach out for about a week or so. Of course, you know how to gauge when to respond based on whether her communication with you begins to increase, taper off or stay steady. What do other folks think?
