Yeah, girlfriends are so important and wonderful! I went to a symposium today and saw my classmates. I initially felt sooo isolated from them. They did invite me out to lunch eventually. I felt so much better being with them and we had a really nice lunch. All talking about heartbreak and old boyfriends. I came back to life after that and went on to do some networking
I didn't mention this but last week, after some prompting from me, my H asked me to dinner - which should have happened today. He was a bit reluctant to respond, so I just bowed out and said not to worry about it and nevermind. Suddenly, he was like, "I'm here if you want to do something." I said thank you but at the moment, I'm just not feeling well so maybe some other time. I pretty much left it at that. I figured I had prompted it, and as he seemed reluctant, I didn't want to feel like I was pushing it.
So, today after the symposium I got home and had this tugging feeling to call my H. So, I did and we had a nice long chat - as we do. We've never run out of things to say to each other in 17 years - even if we are arguing. I talked about a friend of mine who is having a hard time finding a mate. He then said, "Every pot has a lid," and we were both quiet after that. I felt like I was talking to my lid and my heart warmed up so much. I wasn't expecting that at all!!!
So we keep on talking, and at the end he asks if I would like to go for dinner. BINGO! I did not prompt, I did not hint, mention etc., This time I accepted, and said it would be really wonderful, yes, thank you. And then he said, "But you didn't want to do it last week." And I reminded him that I was not feeling well.
So, we will have dinner next week, and I am pleased.
