I suppose that's true hongaku, thanks. She did share some health issues she has with me and actually did specifically mention "you're the only one I've talked to about this." I suppose you could be onto something there. For now I'm holding my course and seeing where this all leads. I didn't actually think much about the phone call on her ride home... certainly didn't put any significance on it but maybe I should. Yes there is absolutely no doubt whatsoever that she is totally comfortable with me. She also mentioned how guys don't make her laugh. When she mentioned that I thought to myseld how much, how hard, and how often she laughs at me. So that probably helps my cause.
But I don't know...maybe last night did see some progress. It didn't seem it to me at the time.

Hi Did, yes I myself never imagined this happening 4 years later. On of my friends actually said to me a couple weeks back..."If I told you WAW and you would be hanging out 6 months ago you'd have said I was crazy!" He was right. So maybe I'm looking for too much and if I don't get it I see it as no progress. I don't know. That's why it's nice to get peoples' takes on this here. Sometimes an outsider sees things more clearly that I miss...such as hongaku's thoughts.
