So I’m at a loss of what to do next. I’ve been GAL and I intend on continuing that. I’ve stepped up my appearance game. I’m not telling him that I love him. I’ve detached lovingly. I know he notices all this, I can tell by his behavior. Each day he initiated conversations with me and I listen and respond to what I feel deserves a response. We are actually getting along very well when it comes to the regular day-to-day things.
I wish I had some words of wisdom for you Living, because to me as a newbie it seems you're doing everything right. But the response just seems so...neutral? Neutral is a hard thing to respond to! I think you're doing well. The only piece I'd be curious on is if folks think you should put a stop (a kind stop) to things like him kissing you. Draw the line firmer? I don't know.
Thanks Yail, I appreciate it. I guess I must just continue with the motions. One positive that I can say is that I’m glad I’m improving myself. It has been such a good feeling. Im also glad I’m getting out and living life without sitting around waiting on him. However, based on some of the threads on this site (I hope no one takes offense to that statement, I mean no I’ll will) I didn’t expect to get these sort of reactions out of him so soon.
I didn’t expect to hear him start to tell me he loves me daily and to hear him say he misses being in love with me. I feel like day by day he’s starting to open up more and more. But I’m hearing here that o should take his words at face value and I can understand that.
So I’m at a loss of what to do next. I guess just be patient. Shrugs shoulders.
