I think that you should take it easier on yourself. Dating can be annoying and confusing and lots of other things and the only thing I think I’ve maybe learned after lo these many years, is that the only thing you can know for certain is how you feel.

Don’t worry so much about the cues that someone else is giving you – decide what YOU want and YOU feel and act from there. Because in the beginning, that’s the only thing you can really know or be held accountable for.

Once you’re in a relationship, then you can worry more about what he’s feeling/wanting and how you’re effecting it.

But at least at the start, go ahead and be a little selfish. Worry about your own needs and act from your heart (or your -ahem-, if that’s what its about).

Anyhow, I just wanted to say, “good for you” for taking a stand in your relationship with Wes (You were freaked out because I was upset that you were majorly coming on to someone else when we were out on a date together? Gee. Guess I overreacted, huh. — love it!) and for the more easygoing, laid-back way you’re thinking about your new friend from Barrage.

Go, TinMan, go! ;-)

Don’t I feel stoopid.

Okay, so he’s right, you’re still working on that (aren’t we all?!). Well, anyhow, my compliments still stand about the progress you’re making! (Now, if only I could figure out what I want…)
