Hello,

We are here to help the person asking the question. two people are bound to have different views of looking at the same issue. I KNOW EOT and Rhutobello are trying to help the person here.
so please keep the discussion on the topic and dont get diverted. If you feel you have nothing more to add personally to this, then do not say something that may be taken otherwise too.

Thanks

Hi,
Sorry for the long reply and thank you both for your insight. At the end of the day I can't make anyone love me. It will either happen or it won't. I'm just going to go with the flow.

Sindy,

Your more relaxed going with the flow and seeing where it leads you approach of looking at this is probably the most effective plan for you in the long run.

The use of force or emotional manipulation to get your way is completely against your good character, and there is (not surprisingly I might add) no suggestion whatsoever in your reading that you would even consider doing such an underhanded thing to someone who you still genuinely feel a deep sense of friendship and affection for, in spite of all his harsh words and insensitive behaviour.

God bless,

EoT
