Stander,

I think you are correct, but also that it depends. I think what your internal motivation is, as much as anything, defines pursuit. That's why I wanted to interrogate my motivations. I was afraid that it was just me taking an opportunity to talk with her or show her how I was doing, in which case I think it would be pursuit. Ultimately I decided it was more about being polite, and not slinking away in fear or avoidance. The irony of course is that she snuck the dog back into the house last night and slipped away without me ever knowing she was there. It seems like she hasn't gotten to the same point as me.
