Hi Thornton, glad to read this and you can see here where time is your friend. What would your response have been a couple of months ago, compared to now?

I do think, as this is second time around for you, that she and you both will need to dig pretty deep here. For her, what is it that makes her run? For you, do you want to commit and marry someone who has run a couple of times already?

I think your approach was spot on and whilst you can remain open to further talking and exploring things, there's no need to make any big decisions in the short term. I always think it is best to dip a toe and date for a few months, protecting your own heart initially - then see what transpires.

Good luck with things xx
