This is unexpected because I feel that I am distant and selfish That's how I behave anyway, whenever someone is affectionate i become aloof and evasive.

I replied to her facebook post with a thank you and likewise. I will see her tomorrow so now I am thinking of how to respond. Maybe some sort of gift.

What do you guys do besides hang out in bed together? Not that there is anything wrong with that! But i get the impression you want or need to build up your relationship with her. I know you probably have special family responsibilities, but what else is important or interesting or would be helpful to one or both of you? Even like cooking or bowling.

That seems like a FEAR of INTIMACY to me. Have you considered therapy? I'd get into a Codependents Anonymous support group [google it] or begin some Self Esteem work [google it] to fix all of that.
good luck,
jim

Drive, go on dates, discuss our pets, picnic with her friends, and so on. I am ok with normal dates

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
