Thanks Angela and NotesMaeve for sharing your perspectives on this!
I understand the "he might grow on me" bit, but once you found that was not going to happen anymore, you'd stop right?
All signals were very clear during the first couple of dates, but then we ran into that thing about her past. When we then later picked up dating again, my signals were probably less clear. I was absolutely certain about what I wanted, but I was unsure if I was going to get it (seeing as I failed first time around). That uncertainty, of course, was reflected in my actions.
But yesterday was pretty extreme, in that I all but froze up. Beforehand, I'd decided that I'd better act in a way that made my intentions very clear. But when push came to show, I couldn't move a muscle. My best explanation for it is that my body somehow already knew that love was flowing only in one direction
