Hey OwnIt, thanks so much for your encouraging words.
It has taken me such a long time to stop pushing him into doing what I want him to do and I've realised that it wasn't getting me anywhere. Getting to this stage wasn't a conscious decision, I think I am just ready.
Although at this stage I am not sure if there is any love story it is obviously better than it has been. He is thawing but it could just be that he is a nice guy, I don't know. I still had a little cry this afternoon because I had such a lovely time with him. It is so bittersweet....

Don't leave me behind can't you see me I'm shining... (Years & Years - 'Shine')
