Learning to trust myself II

[Burgbud]

I don't know how long she would have had to do it with zero expectations before I felt special again and wanted to return her affection with interest.
Can I just say on this point when you give to someone lovingly like holding their hand or other terms of affection just to show you care if it is not returned at least a bit it makes you feel very insecure and that the other person doesn't have the same feelings for you which hurts.

I couldn't agree more, KDU. It's just that it would have taken a lot to break my out of the rut I was in. That may have done it...I can't even say for sure.

BTW Heather G...it's about time for you to have some input in your thread...
