Thanks Cat Dancing,

I appreciate multiple views on this and I read any response I get. Sometimes you can look within and find answers, and other times, you need different perspectives. I am thoughtful about how I treat her because the same thing happened to me, and I would be the same to anyone.
I don’t want to be serious all the time and I do want to have fun with this. I just feel like I have to say this to her. I guess I want to let her know that, while she is who I would most like to get to know, I want to keep my options open too. Is just saying what my intentions are too much or should I give a clear picture of what I am thinking, and let the pieces fall where they may?
