Will check on that date and around. Miracles really do happen! I guess looking for actions is key, why do they have such a hard time verbalizing it? Saving face? False expectations? Whatever, we know we are much smarter. We know these scared little personalities can't come right out and say it like we can.
We have to be consistent and know better than they and have faith we are the strong ones and are doing the right thing. They aren't as strong.
Overly happy and friendly can give off a condescending vibe and they can pick up on it very quickly, especially when they are looking for stuff to pick at. Balance, not overly attentive and friendly, but open to it when it suits them. Available, not pushing it. Good points from all.
