......are these itty bitty baby steps?

[Lost Rabbit]

Ok so maybe loneliness has triggered his need to connect more, thats not a bad thing, Mr Rabbit also had to get lonely too before he started to think, and ironically you dont have to be on your own to be lonely.. You have us to bat things around and pass the time of day with albeit every few days and if his BMF is busy well poor Mr GAG has been "billy no mates" and has given him time to reflect. Ok some of his sadness will be the impending expectation of his mum, but as you asked him not to mind read you must honour him as well!

Funny we ended up having some pretty unintentional meaningful conversations those first few nights out, perhaps its because general chit chat seems so less meaningful when you know what the whole picture is? Also you need to expect pull backs when youre getting some where, funny they offset something good they give you (dinner date) with some thing they cant do (TT) but I bet he will be there its just him stepping on his back foot to test it still works lol.

The fact you have been able to keep up this constant pleasant contact shows he cant let go, even if he is convinced he needs too he cant. Now what ever you do now keep it smooth and calm dont ripple those waters by getting excited, if anything I expect you feel a bit bemused, I certainly did, in one whole evening you connect, get pushed away, connect and then side stepped? Dont let one minute of your dinner date change your life for the time being..

This is gonna be a slow brewing cuppa but I reckon its worth the wait
