You should have given her a hug/cuddled last night when you were in bed. She is I'm sure waiting for you to do it first.

She might be embarrassed or even be hard for her to be the first one to initiate the first hug.

You two will get there...
Yeah...well...she just got home. She didn't respond. But....baby steps.

I am quite happily surprised. For now do not push. This is much better than I thought it would be at this time. Baby steps. I like it. Even baby steps will get you somewhere. Don't rush it, but you can believe she has been so lonely.

I'm actually seeing my wife of old, all of a sudden. Ravens playoff right now...and she made some chilli for the game...and some snacks.

Now...my ONLY flag, right now. She's showing some very real interest in the game. Wanting to see the plays...wondering what is going on. I asked her why the sudden interest. Her reply was that even the women at work are interested...and she doesn't want to feel left out. She's NEVER shown interest before....but ...we'll just see. I'll take it at face value. Right now...she is definitely MUCH more friendly. I just told her we should get our hug out of the way, for the day. She laughed and gave me a REAL hug...felt real good.

You two are doing great. Don't over analyze or you will screw up.

But, what are you doing spying on her? How do you know it was read, unless you are still spying? Stop doing this to yourself....


Get caught and you will have wiped out all your progress.
