I think you hit the nail on the head there. That's where I'm trying to be. I want to get better at 'getting what she's feeling' I think if I was better able to understand that then I wouldn't really worry about what to say back or anything like that, it would be natural at that point.
@Wulfen - I hear what you're saying (sounds like The Game?) and by no means do I want to become her therapist. But as discussed, there are definitely scenarios where I want to be able to help her through something and I don't think that lessens her interest in me.
