I agree I think she is having a hard time being vulnerable. She does all of these nice things for me but is seems to be really struggling with "going there". Last night she was showing me a video of her son playing at his school party and she made the comment "that I am going to like him when I meet him". I just said "I am sure I will".
Anyway, no more out of me going forward. If she wants to drive the bus then she can jump in the seat and take the wheel. I will just sit in the passenger seat and go for a ride.
I actually think it is a good thing that I expressed myself first and she didn't say it back. One, it shows her that I emotionally stable and didn't get all butt hurt, get mad, etc. Two, I haven't said it since so it shows that I am not needy either or pushing it on her.
There is a local winery out by her ranch that we are going to go to so that should be fun.
