Portia, it is interesting to see where it is going with his texts. He is definitely curious about your life. The car seems to be an easy subject to discuss for him. Yes, I have no doubt that he is missing you. Maybe his R with the GF is not that rosy anymore, if he is still seeing her at all. He moved to a one bedroom apartment, so I think it means she is not living there, especially with the kids.
You are doing great. The thought of losing you will definitely hit him one day, if hasn’t already.
I would follow FY suggestion to bet $100 on what kind of car you are going to get. Don’t make it too easy though. Win the money, so you could pay FY back, hehe. I have a feeling that this is not the last bet challenge from FY .
