I will do so Snodderly, though the positive reactions can be inconsistent with W based on her mood, sleep deprivation state, etc., so I will have to choose carefully.
Oh, and my quip about "what's a guy got to do" was tongue in cheek...I didn't have much expectations as W worked and was tired, and if I were D I would have done exactly the same things yesterday. It just kinda cracked me up a bit as the old W would have been very expressive in appreciation...but we aren't in Kansas anymore these days... Who knows, maybe it's being chalked up there in her head as points for staying, idk.
First date...hmmm...coffee and conversation, and a 10 block walk to my BMW to give her a ride home so she wouldn't have to bike (and I got to show off my inventiveness getting her bike into the trunk, lol, males in their 20's....)...so maybe a movie, and then coffee and a walk on the greenbelt?
Anyway, I have to remind myself that W is in a new job, a big change, and will need time to adjust and find that rhythm. I also have to remind myself that I am tired and overdone on a few things in life not related to the sitch, so don't jump to any conclusions or decisions, analyze or mind read.
