Thank you Wonka, that made complete sense. So these are the points I will focus on:
* I get the coffee request was more like a start to a date rather than a get together. * Friendly text first: similar to the "Happy New Year" one last week. But then was ruined by asking what to do for an engagement present. * The Berlin Wall is not my fault, but her response to pain. * Treat her like a stranger I have never met.....mmmmm. That will take a lot of thinking. * What I texted was a guilt-inducing comment (it was like a last stand in a way) and to stop those texts. * Talk about things in common: sons, teaching, .....it feels like a struggle after so long to even think about what we had in common.
Yes Wonka it all makes sense. Thanks again.
