I thought everything was okay.....(Part 3)

[TLEE86]

She told me she never felt she lived up to my expectations and I always was in "control." So me seeming to be that way by moving on and not a little vulenerable, that it wouldn't be showing a 180 that I've tried to do.

I can definitely relate to this statement. What have you done to try showing a little vulnerability?

My demeanor has been calm, collected and confident. Since all of our talk is about logistics of S, I've been factual and logical. However, I think this also counteracts some of her comfort with me, because me being this way could also be viewed as intimidating and trying to be in control of the sitch. Especially if she is feeling very unsure of herself and me. IDK

You are acting the right way as far as your demeanor. You cant control how she feels. As long as you are light and friendly enough when you interact with her, how she feels is up to her. My only suggestion would be to ask and incorporate her ideas/suggestions when it comes to logistics of S. Just ask her what she thinks and listen to her, dont dismiss it. This may help lower her guard because it is no longer MCS dictating facts and logic to her, but MCS asking her what she feels is fair.
