Yeh J & LH - I am pretty aware of not falling into the friend zone. I know these interactions are not a sign of recon or her having second thoughts or anything. I am not attaching any hopes or expectations that these interactions will lead to more things. I am going to go ahead with the mindset that they are just small positive chill interactions and keep doing my thing in the mean time.
I will never be cool being in the friend zone and she's not just going to be able to call me up and be her emotional support system. I am giving her a chance to see what she might be missing and then it's in her court.
I remember Benito went quite a few months NC/dark and then his W came around slowly with a few interactions and then wanting to spend time with him. I remember he said that he would always imagine what the next day would look like for him and what he's doing when she's not around. This helped him not get his hopes up and attach any expectations to these meets. I am trying to do something similar and my day today is going as I had planned it before.
But she's never going to be my buddy and I still plan on remaining mysterious and doing my thing. Still not initiating anything and doing my DBing with GAL and focusing on my goals. She wants to walk away from me then so be it at the end, but it ain't over till it's over.
Btw, I made some new buddies at my climbing gym and got a new climbing buddy. Expanding my social network slowly
