Hi Anita,

Nice to see your name again. I think you raise some good points. From what I gathered, she’s not someone who gets invested in relationships quickly either, and perhaps she’s experiencing some conflicted feelings about it. I think I’m just living with the shock of spending those nights sharing my intimate self, and now returning to the regular day to day like they were just a dream. It looks like we won’t be seeing each other for a few days, thus making it a week or so since last seeing each other. That might help me calm my nerves a bit, and hopefully it will calm hers. Maybe we’ll address it when we see each other next. I just hope that we’re still comfortable with each other then, but I think we will be. Gotta let the ripples settle before we set sail again.

Funny how when we watch the romance movies, we only get a quick montage between first date and then serious involvement. Skips over the period between where you have to establish a pace getting to know someone, and building a relationship. It’s never just A to Z, there are all the letters in between.
