The reduction in her overall mood (less smiling, etc.) was what had me concerned. She is a private person and seldom volunteers personal information. I respect her right to privacy, but in this instance i felt compelled to ask a mutual friend what was going on.

She seems better these days, which is a good thing.

just found her reaction to being called 'girlfriend' strange. it has been my experience that women push for commitment from men. not vice versa
