WCW- I am so happy to hear about the significant baby step. And I completely understand about not wanting the cap off your emotions. You're protecting yourself, consiously or not. And why wouldn't you? You're right, if you jump all over this babystep I would worry that he would snap it away too.
But, you have to see a very obvious trend here. His coldness and on-one-day-off-the-next is ALL ABOUT HIM, NOT YOU. I think it's pretty clear that he opened up to you because he was feeling good about the results of that meeting.
Well, whatever the root causes, I'm happy you got a little something We all need it, don't we?
