Lh , I am aware I am taking a risk and I have moved my deadline back as 1 month from BD was too soon . If things continue the same way then I may extend it again , as long as boundary is not crossed . If I am being played then I think it will help me detach as she is being very nice as she always has been . I think she wants us to be friends and I am sure that she can do what she wants , which is not a game I am playing, it’s her choice.

AS , yes self respect is important as is confidence. It’s hard where I am at the moment and GAL I am finding difficult, I do go out once or twice a week on my own and the same with her . I know I have to do this myself but I am just on the bottom of the coaster at the moment. When we are out people naturally interact with me for some reason so I don’t think I will have problems when I can get on a bit more of an even keel
