Sandi W and I had an argument but at least talked to each other about it after. She said that she cares that's why she spends time with me. From what I see she does need time alone not to date just to be herself. We talk and she is still shopping for the house and wants to do a project in the powder room together. I got my copy of DR and I am reading it. I am afraid that with the start of football season this would be a setback. I coach one of our S team. I told the other coaches that I would not always be available. So I don't know if W is testing the waters but she knows tonight is practice and asked if I would go to the gym with her. She has a set schedule in her head about how much time she wants to spend with us and tries not to deviate from it. I'm trying my best to follow your rules except for going dark and making myself available. I am following your advice and she is letting me touch her again not romantically but she does not shy away from my touch. I am having a hard time today because while I do detach and am GAL her being so emotionless is causing some anxiety on my part.
