So glad i found this forum, it's simply awesome!  Uplifting, supportive, interesting and i'm grateful to have found it. 

A bit of background... So 3 years ago i met someone, was more a case of being thrown into each other's path and honestly, i was not a fan at first.  The relation was/ is professional but over the course of the months it has lightened a lot but always with that ounce of professionalism and but we grew to know and appreciate each other.  

I became interested in RS but really had no target in mind but as i visualized during my practices he became the recurring subject.  I've noticed the last three or four times we have been together he is opening up about himself personally.   He is flirty, commenting about my smile, divulging personal things about himself.  He also extends our time together with any excuses he can find.  The last time i saw him about 1 week ago, the way he smiled at me and the lingering look  i thought i was gonna melt....LOL.  All good stuff really....but he certainly is not moving outside the confines of our professional relationship.   Does not reach out to me by calls, or text.   I do try to stay confident in the place i'm in and reinforcing that im ready for this, a good person and i'm fortunate for all that i have and so fortunate to have him in my life.  Essentially pacify myself that it is coming.

-  In RS there are certainly no set guidelines and everyone responds in their own ways and I respect that but i'm confused about...some people actively manifest a call in 2 hours and I get face to face maybe 1x a month.  Is is a gradual opening, just his own way to respond to my RS suggestions on him?  

- Do you think that i lack intensity in my intentions and energy?  Are there ways to increase that?

- What factor of his personality come into play?  He tends to be the shy type, very much into his head.  Propably thinks too much and does not act a lot on his feelings.  Are there suggestions i can incorporate in my RS to encourage a more active response from him?

Any comments are welcomed...I think we have a good connection that could take us a long way...i want to do this right and foster only the best for both of us...   Thank you...
