Thanks for the insight UpperCu, it was a nice reminder!
In other news, H did not call at lunch like he promised, which is what I anticipated. I decided to remain silent and see what would happen. He sent me a few text messages and I responded back. Later this evening he told me he liked talking about positive stuff and asked if we could have a conversation via text message. He asked a few things about what was going on with me: I was upbeat, told him about my PRs with crossfit, every day blah blah blah. He seemed (for what I could tell over text) genuinely impressed with my progress (yeah dude, life changing event + working out lots of frustration = lots of gains) and, surprisingly validated the hell out of me. God, he's probably DBing me.
I asked him about what was going on with him, and we chatted for a few more minutes. I wrapped it up and said it was nice talking to him tonight, he's aid the same and we left it at that.
Things I did differently today: - I struck with my goal of letting him contact me. - although I was slightly annoyed with him not calling, I kept it to myself and went on about my day. I did not bring it up at all. In fact, I planned my evening as if I wouldn't hear from him and was shocked when I did. - I was agreeable to his terms of the conversation (keeping it positive, remaining via text instead of on the phone) - I remained patient because I saw that he was trying, with the conversation. - I remained up beat and kept it short and sweet.
So. One positive interaction in the books. Here's hoping for another.
--- In other news, last nights conversation really helped my PMA. People today remarked that I seemed more upbeat and in good spirits. I don't know, it was just nice to be acknowledged for once. -- LAbug - I'm working on my list of 180s. I'm really digging deep and examining things.
