MY TRAGIC WAW STORY PART X

[hongaku]

I personally think that you are handling things admirably and that you have a great perspective. Friendship IS vitally important for establishing a deeper relationship. You are basically starting all over again - with some obvious familiarity due to your history, but you are still in a way courting her all over again.

While I tend to think that she is more interested than your gut is telling you, I also think you are totally taking the right approach in not being too aggressive and letting things evolve slowly and naturally. The Golden Girls quote and the context in which it was used could be more meaningful than you give it credit for - as is the mere fact that she was changing in a way that she knew you would very likely catch a glimpse of things.

Either way, I know you will be still be the awesome person that you have become. I hope you get what you want at the end of this new relationship you are developing with your XW and I am totally rooting for you!
