Haha. Thanks cbt/doodler. I still feel like I'm "blowing her off" a little bit when she asks these questions... I guess until she stops "asking" the questions, and actually starts making statements about how she's feeling about 'us', I should stand firm on not wanting to talk, and continue to not respond with softball bait like "if you want to talk I'm here to listen."
I tried that a few times and it's been met with silence in the past. I'm assuming since that's the pattern, she's not really "ready to talk" either, but just feeling me out to see if I'll start to pour emotion onto her about my feelings. It's hard to hold back, but I feel as soon as I tell her my feelings/thoughts, things will turn sour quickly.
