I like the connecting where he is at idea! That's at the core of every thing I've ever seen of how to approach someone to open their heart.

I noticed, yesterday, since reading your comment, my H has a thing for music. At one point yesterday, even though he had a busy evening planned, he copied a song to his smartphone to play for me so we could identify some words in the middle. Your post made my radar go up "this important to him"!

Thanks. That's what I like about sharing here--helping each other.

Hard not to have expectations about your H after the fun evening, but if you were making a brand new friend it would fun too!

So you are connecting with him in a new way! That's what young teenagers do when they are interested in a boy....just so it's genuine, I suppose, and not a tactic.

I had a long term boyfriend years ago before H that LOVED guns and reloading ammo. You can't imagine how BORING I found that. To sit for hours and watch him reload ammo and talk about the nuances of it. I went to gun shows and learned all about guns, learned to shoot at a range. Guess what he got me for Christmas -- yup, a gun! Golf looks like a party compared to that to me!!! (my apologies to anyone who has the gun interests--just saying I wasn't interested)
