Steve ~ I wonder if any of the vets here have advice about whether you should engage in the 20-30 conversations when you run into each other.
I'm not a big fan of the "friend zone" or "Plan B" concept, but I wonder if these conversations are really serving you well. I could be wrong but I get the sense from your posts that you give her all the time and space in the world, and when you do run into each other, you are quite friendly and trying to DB, but you have a *goal* in mind. I completely understand because these are your rare opportunities to feel things out and test the waters, but maybe an experiment to try next time would be to just say "Hey I'm busy gotta run, good to see you" or something like that?
Just throwing ideas out there, I have no idea what is the right thing to do.
April-May-June is tough for me too. Hang in there.
