I look back on my original thread and I'm thinkin, wow, what a difference a little over a week can make! I think I cared too much about at least one of my friends opinions, who btw, had no basis for any of the things he said. This girl showed me her emails, text messages, the works. She wants things to grow between us. And to be honest, I've done this before, became hesitant, paranoid, I really feel that's a protection usually, if you don't let it consume you. The first hurdle is passed.

Amen.
