Man this is slow, it took 5 months of S and OM to get to this point?

This is so true.....I think it just takes them time to start getting their head a little bit clear when they are not worrying about being in the same house w/us so they start to melt a bit? I think that you are seeing positives here and that's good. These are small baby steps but something none-the-less. It's a step in the right direction. Eddy is right, you keep on picking yourself up and finding the next thing that might work.

Rj2 did give you some excellent info, maybe some will work for you and continue to break the ice.

I would have to say that you should back off w/dog. It kind of seems like pursuing (to me). She gives you a little bit of time and then you ask for the next one. I liked the advice to ask if you could come on x day and let her pick the time. Maybe next time you could just tell her see ya later and see if she mentions when you might be back to walk the dog. If not, you could call a few days later and then mention it. Just something else to try to see if it's a real connection or not and proceed from there.

Take it easy. You're doing fine w/connections. She's being receptive to them. You're climbing the mountain more every day . Tootles..............
