MY TRAGIC WAW STORY PART X

[SteveLW]

Not to be a wet blanket.

But many women in my family kiss male relatives (blood relatives) on the lips hello and goodbye. I am a germophobe and actually hate it. But clearly there is nothing beyond hello or goodbye going on.

So while it is a good sign, I would be very careful attaching too much to it. There is a huge difference between a quick closed mouth peck on the lips....and a full open mouth kiss. If she grabbed you and planted the latter on you then it would be unambiguous.

But I agree, you are getting a lot of mixed messages from her IH. I've been all over the place in my reading of things. I do feel at some point a frank talk about where this is going would benefit you. IF she has R on the brain, that talk will not deter her. If she doesn't then you will get that answer loud and clear. I really don't see a downside to the discussion.

I assume that if she is just wanting to be friends, then you are not interested. If I am wrong then ignore the above.
