Well, Job, I took your advice. I had dinner with H and his parents tonight and when he walked me to my car to leave, he started talking about how difficult things are again. I told him I was aware of that and if he thought he would be more comfortable staying with me he was welcome to do that.
He immediately said no. He said he appreciated the offer, but he didn't need to do that. He said if in the manner of saying no to a friend that offered to do something for you and you politely refused so as not inconvenience them.
So that's where that stands. I made the offer. The balls in his court and what happens from here is entirely up to him.
He did reach over during dinner, patted and then squeezed my thigh and smiled. It's not much, but it's been like forever since he reached out to touch me, so I guess my cooties aren't as intimidating as they have been for a while.
He's come a long way, but he still has a ways to go. As he dropped me off last night, he didn't come in and said he was going back to his parent's house and get in bed to nurse the cold he has. Tonight he told me some friends of his from over there (who are in town for some kind of trade show) called at 9:30pm and wanted him to meet them for drinks. So he got out of bed, got dressed and went. Hmmm.
I'm looking forward to a two day week at the office. I have three days off going into the weekend and am just looking forward to sleeping late and doing my thing for 5 days straight. I offered to cook one of H's favorite meals one night and he's taking me to a movie on Friday. He will be here to repair my car at some point, but other than that, my time is mine to do with as I please and I'm looking forward to it.
My best to everyone.
