Greeneyedlass, if she were to mention a personal need of hers that was unfulfilled, I'd welcome that. I'm not exactly psychic, and sometimes I need more than just "subtle hints" to pick up on things. It was that way when she first expressed an interest in me; she was giving hints that virtually everyone present but me could read, and it took two female friends of mine to clue me in on what was going on.

I got her to elaborate on that "not liking to be touched" thing; she said she didn't like to be touched "if I'm tired or achy." There's probably some subtext to it, but that's a start, at least.

Still looking ahead to the next talk; I have to find out, first, how her process of working through her feelings is coming along, and second, what else she sees as deficiencies on my part.
