Ah, so when you get a chance to finally read it completely, and then
a chance to actually talk to her about it, she can be pleasantly
surprised that you actually followed through on it... ;)

That is the plan, yes. :)

OK, that works nicely... ;)

Should help break the deadlock of not being able to do stuff... ;)

There's also a deadlock of intertial horror from the amount of crap
in such a small space here, too, though. Still working on that [more internal] block at this point.

Those internal blocks are the worst to work thru... ;) Either have to (mentally) talk one's self past them, or physically remove the physical obstacles that fed into forming them... I guess I tend to be more
likely to do the former... probably doing both would make a more
permanent fix, though... :)

Then we should get along fine.. :) I may not be totally "safe", but
I do try to be gentle in disagreement... ;)

Safeword time! *laugh*

After all, there's always more than one way to disagree... one can be
harsh and disagreeable, and make the message even less palatable... or
one can come along with and try to make things easier to take.. :)

Yeah I've identified some habits that are tripping me up from getting onto working on these things as much as I should be. I'm trying to get one of them under control right now... I hesitate to mention what it is, but it seriously holds me back from making much progress on the social issues quite a bit. Tomorrow will be my first day trying out a new scheme of things that should eliminate that little bit of trouble. Hopefully things go well for it.
At the very least tomorrow I have to get out to that coffee shop for awhile. I'm supposed to be having a date there tomorrow night, so I need to hit the shop at least long enough to find out how late they're open until.

That's the best way to do it. Most of the time. :)

Hope it all went well... :)

I have to get out to that coffee shop for awhile. I'm supposed

Yeah, once in a while, one does have to be a little more heavy-handed,
just to get the point in... but I always hope that the easier, gentler
ways will work out instead... :)

Gotcha. These particular vices shall probably remain unmentioned for now, but I shall keep that address handy. :)

Well things from that last date ended up getting postponed. It turned out that that particular coffee shop didn't stay open late enough, anyway. So, instead, we're going out tonight. It's been a long time that we've been talking without meeting, so hopefully this goes off without a hitch.

That's the best way to do it. Most of the time. :)

Oh I agree. I really dislike having to take any of the more hamfisted techniques, though, as you said, they are occasionally necessary.

Yeah, once in a while, one does have to be a little more heavy-handed, just to get the point in... but I always hope that the easier, gentler ways will work out instead... :)

Aye, words to live by. :)
