I'm still following along and stealing the advice you're getting.
I don't know why I wasn't able to conceptualize that "talking to him about work" wasn't pursuit.
Seems like a no-brainer, but DOH!!!
H likes to tell me about work; it's a way he can connect with me about something he's comfortable talking about.
I specifically DO NOT fish, nor ask questions; stopped all that long ago.
If I ask, it's because I'm interested, and it also allows me to do a 180 by listening and offering support.
So--thanks guys!
