SH,

Well, the girls beat me to it.

There are a lot of positives here and you would know better than we do. But I think you are overanalyzing EVERY little action, comment, reaction you get from her hoping to extract some positive move on her part toward the R. And I do not know, nor do you, but I suspect she looks as you solely as a friend right now. There is little or no pressure from you and she has relaxed because you've relaxed (a little). I think there is still a tendency on your part to want to rush over there or call her because you have a "feeling." You are trying to justify your actions, and more often than not, you will be disappointed at the results. There are a lot of examples of contact being cold and rushed. And you keep wanting to rush. I don't remember who, but someone compared the WA thawing to an iceberg. SLOW.

I know it is chewing you up, believe me, I know. But do not call. And don't jump at the phone as soon as she calls.

Occupy yourself with something, other than fretting over this. It takes too much of a toll.

Hang in and be patient. There is hope.
