I hear you CO, but I keep thinking if I don't slightly mention the "transformations" I will never have a chance to speak to them - remember, she lives away now and I see her maybe once a week. Text and e-mail is all I really have - so is it bad if I make a simple remark? I think you're right about playing the dating thing close to my chest - I'm not dating, of course. My fear there is that if she thinks I'm dating someone then maybe she will - and as weak as this sounds I do NOT want that to happen. I feel like this is an opportunity to peacefully make a DB-type statement. Am I wrong? I can take it if I am.....
