Ok. So if I am reading your message correctly, I should just continue with my version of NC. You seemed to imply otherwise in the earlier comments. That it was too harsh. (It feels harsh to me). I respond very friendly to her texts, but that is about it. She is not on facebook (closed her account 2 years ago) and as far as I know is not keeping tabs on me at all. Given the physical separation and my impending trip I think our contact will be non-existent. I have seen no sign of pursuit on her end despite cutting it off completely on my end. I know that lighthouses do not chase, but I wonder how she will know the light is still on.
She definitely wants to remain friends, but I do not want to get caught in the friend zone. That seems counterproductive to me, or if she were wayward - an example of cake eating. But, again, I do not trust my instincts.
If she were to express doubts about her decision again, should I handle it differently? She asked if either of us was growing from this situation, and I was dying to tell her that I am growing a ton, but I bit my tongue thinking that was something she needed to see and believe over time, rather than hear from me.
Still, please put your trip on FB. The great and wonderful bits, the scenes, the restaurants. Not the feelings or any delicious women you meet though! I think you have to just trust me on this, WAW will see it! Go large.......
Marketing, you are going to be doing something amazing. Posters will tell you this and how amazing you are doing, how great you look etc. Because peeps are like that. I don't think this in most sitches where the opposite is true. Cards close chest but in yours please consider it.
