back story: My ex and I didn't really have a falling out. He grew distant and I got tired of asking what was going on and after a few frustrating conversation we both kind of just threw in the towel. I did it to give him space and let him figure whatever he needed too out. I have no idea what his reasons are for walking away. 

Anyways, we both play on a softball team together. The last few games he missed and I missed a few too. So it's been a few weeks since we've seen each other. As I was putting on my cleats he pulled up next to me. So naturally we made small talk and he was telling me about his bad day at work (this is new, we've kept conversation light and brief). Then during the game we had normal teammate communications (this is also new, we've kept this to a minimum too, due to it being a bit awkward). After the game we both walked back to our cars together (we were the only two that parked in the far lot).

All seems good right? I'm pretty pleased deep down. I feel like its a step in the right direction. Things felt more natural and right then they have in a long time. 

BUT, concerns I have (please feel free to put a positive spin on them!). What if I'm just being friend zoned. We have mutual friends what if he's just working on not making things awkward but doesn't want a relationship? 

All in all though it was definitely progress. I'm counting it as a personal win.
