"I think it is important that you tell her exactly what you said here."
I did start saying a bunch of those things, but ended up making things worse. I tend to agree with those here that say I need to lay low for awhile.
"Otherwise any hesitancy or second thoughts will be picked up by her and pull you into a self fulfilling prophecy of the NO answer." All admit that there is some hesitancy in me, but I think I am beating it out more and more every day. This is another reason why I am following the advice to lay low. That way when we do have our BIG talk, I won't be hesitant in affirming my commitment to her.
"That is how healthy jealousy helps to confirm the bond. It affirms the feelings are definitive and she need not have even a twinge of doubt." Interesting perspective. Processing.
