Well, I've been dark on W for over a week now. I haven't seen her, and there has been only 1 one-minute phone call related to exchanging D4 and W indicated that she tried to text me on that one.

I have to admit that I'm surprised. Around her parents, W has seemed cheerful. They think OM's leaving has taken a load off her back. While she did renew her hints to the in-laws that she really would like to see my apartment, she is obviously quite comfortable not talking to me.

I don't know how I feel about this. I expected her to be doing a little pursuing of me right now, for friendship if nothing else. The last thing I expected was for her to go dark on me the same time I was going dark on her. I feel sure that she's doing it to avoid a R talk, because she doesn't yet know what she's going to do.

The good news in all this is that I never told her I was going dark, so I can end this any time I please. If this continues for a couple of weeks, I may invite her over ... we'll see.


The LORD is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth." (Psalm 145:18)
