HP, Yeah, I know the intimate communication sounds so clinical and unsexy ect. To be honest, the WWME method also feels very awkward, but it is better than silence and trying to read minds. I think as you grow into it it will become more natural. Instead if you focus on the goal of attaining a soul-mate R through communication, I think it would look a lot more attractive. I think a lot of the reservation is fear of exposure, fear of our S not accepting our naked selves rather than the persona we put on, as well as the awkwardness of putting it out there. MrsGGB is also inclined to giving the whatever you want type answer, and that makes it hard to dig deeper, is frustrating and doesn't feel like fair disclosure. It isn't intimate communication until you get past that. Think of it this way, in order for it to feel like he is reading your mind, he first has to get to know your mind from the inside, not through the tiny window with all the window dressing meant to impress the rest of the world.
How'd he react to you doing the hypothetical questions to him? How about open questions where people pleasing answers won't work?
If you figure this one out, I'm all ears too. MrsGGB still isn't exactly eager to let me inside.
