Firstly, I am loving your adventures and look forward to living vicariously through you
I don't think you're at risk of rebounding. In fact, apart from your dates being dates, you are not that different from me. You are enjoying the company of others. I love sitting across from them, over a meal, or a drink, and just being there. Sometimes I share my story, sometimes I don't.
Anyway, great updates. I have taken a liking to the facebook guy your sister is stalking.
Re your text from your H. Take it for what it is - an attempt to connect. He no longer sets the temperature. You define the relationship you want with him going forward.
