Hey. That sounds lovely Kimmy. I guess I had wondered if there might be something like this about it... Because I did express some concern that he didn't like the various things I wanted to do... And he said it wasn't about that... And relaxed some - but not completely. I guess... Only time will tell. I think it is okay... I'm probably just overthinking this way too much. I guess I'll see when I visit. I'll be prepared to back off a bit and take things slower... And we will see where he is at, I guess. I think that part of it was about his not wanting to hurt me and realising that I could be vulnerable to that. Also... His not knowing whether things were likely to work out over the long haul or not. I mean... He said he wasn't sure about whether a long distance relationship could work. And he said it didn't seem like we would be able to be together anytime in the next five years. And... We didn't know each other very well, I guess. I mean, for all he knew, I might be freaking out about something or other every week. But... Over time... He has started to talk more about how we might be able to arrange to see each other and stuff like that. He is applying for work elsewhere, too, which seems to be partly related to me but partly related to other stuff going on in his life. He applyed for something that means we might be able to be together for a year - though he did say that it is unlikely that he will get it... But, yeah. Thanks for your post. It helps.
