Sounds like good interactions... good to see you back up w. a sense of humor again. Something I need to keep doing too, lol. WOW, you get to take the dog, that's HUGE! Must have really impacted her w. what you said that visit. Pressure came off. What Christine/Betsey said is true too- may go slower for those of us are S, but people's feelings do change in time. A "no" can easily turn to a "yes", when person feels no pressure and sees things they like. This isn't so cut and dried. We got to keep knowing that. Focus on the common activities and language- that's the way to do it! Great about the business too. Keep scoring the small points w. W- those add up to win the game.
So true about this detaching/friends thing... like our motivation is b/c we want to be w. them- but can't act that part. Playing the supporting side character, build up the credentials until you get cast in the lead part. I think you've been doing great inching into that spotlight
I mean, just the fact that we stick by our S's when they are going through their junk makes us the most admirable type of people. Think how much of the world is reacting to what others say/do and we are beyond that. Hey, ever write up that list of all the great things about you!
Master the self-fulfilling prophecy.. Act 'as if' it's going to happen and make it be!!
