[s]No[/s] affair, no feelings...is there hope? III

[44tries]

I am thinking this is the way to handle some of her questions about making friends, the definition of "just friends" or "something more". As the conversations present the opportunity, and she has pretty much laid out everything she believes is inappropriate in a MR.......then approach her about the OM. Entrapment? Sure 'nuff.

I'm glad you think this is a good way to handle it...gives me confidence too that some of the stuff I am coming up with on the fly and on my own are on the right track. I think the entrapment idea works. She is forcing these conversations and basically setting the trap herself. I will certainly use it when I decide to approach the issue.

I think timing is important, so don't get in a hurry. I hope it can wait until she gets back from the trip, at least......but you'll have to follow your gut.

Completely agree...not in a hurry. Don't intend to do it until after she's back, I am following my gut and biding my time. I still have work to do. Since timing is so important, do you have any advice on identifying "proper" timing?

She said she might get swapped out next week, or could be the week after, who knows. She called me today and we had a 45 min phone chat about...nothing. She just wanted to talk. She made a few vague comments about taking a trip together to see a friend over Memorial Day weekend...I am expecting the unexpected and keeping my eyes forward.
