Ended up having a good night out with WW. It was an out-of-town concert she had invited me to; she was friendly the whole time, and she was obviously putting effort into reacting to things less negatively. I got home a bit later than expected due to work, and then we got to the concert late due to highway construction and congestion near the event. However, rather than spewing or making passive-aggressive comments like I'm fairly used to, she took it in stride and her only real comment on the matter was that next time maybe we should just make a whole day of it. Despite the setbacks we only missed the pre-pre-band that we didn't even know was playing, so all turned out good.

We were in the GA pit in front of the stage where everyone was packed in shoulder to shoulder, with people jockeying to try and get closer to the stage. I had a hand or two on her hips through most of it so we wouldn't get separated. I suppose that was a pursuing behavior on my part, but after deciding to go together... eh. I tried to keep the contact from being overly intimate and allowed space when feasible, but I didn't give it much thought/concern and just enjoyed the concert. Once we were out of the concert and roaming the fairgrounds I was back to light & breezy and no touchy.

Next day she texted me "Had fun with you last night!" and ended up suggesting three other upcoming events as options. I didn't commit to anything.
