Was it not just you getting a modest glow of enjoyment out of interacting with someone you know and like? I mean, say it had been somebody else, like a college professor you got on very well with- would you not have felt a similar appropriate sense of pleasure if they made a nice remark (the remark your T made was intended as a compliment wasn't it?) in passing?

Maybe you're right. It was a compliment and a sincere one, I believe. But I think that maybe because T means so much to me and I want so much to please her that I set more store in it than I would have otherwise. It wasn't just a modest glow of enjoyment. It was a jump up and down (in my mind) happy dance. I really don't know how to explain it, it was just different. And yes, I could see that line wiggling. Not that there was an issue in crossing it so much as "there's that line they're always talking about. I wondered where it was". Am I dealing with this person as I would anyone else who calls in a referral or is it different? No I didn't. For me, it was just different.
