How are you holding up?
I haven't cried today and almost made it through yesterday without crying. I guess I am moving on.

I remember when I lost my own father and how much it hurt. I know it's hard, but I promise it will get easier.

This entire conversation needs to be quoted someplace.

lol bagga!
It is killer hot out there. Veggie garden dirt turned; compost worked in; 'maters, squash and herbs planted. Sweating absolute buckets after only 45 minutes. I'll wait to plant the rose until tonight when the plant won't be as stressed. Gotta get my seed packets out and plant carrots, salsify, beans and broccoli after I cool down.
*sigh* I got such a late start this year.
*cough* :D

Okay so, in case you weren't sick of this topic already, I need to know some romantic etiquette!
- Having been out with Rob 4 times, and with him planning on fixing my computer and working on all these projects around his house because he wants me to come see it, I feel like I owe it to him to at least tell him that I'm just feeling the friendship vibe right now. I don't need help knowing what to say, but what method to use I'm a little stumped on. Personally, I would sort of prefer to hear that sort of thing via e-mail or phone just to avoid the "what do we do now" awkwardness of being told in person. But is e-mail or phone totally rude?
- After a few days of 2-3 extraordinarily long e-mails each day and then a 2+ hour phone call last night with Dan 2.0 but with absolutely no plans made whatsoever (not even an "I'll call you later this week"), do I just wait to hear from him at this point? Again, not sure what's polite and what's pushy. My instinct would be to just send him a quick e-mail saying that I enjoyed talking to him last night.
I'm such a rookie. :D

1) Yes, giving the friendship conversation by email or phone is kinda rude.
It's an uncomfortable conversation, yes, and it probably won't go well, but I think you owe it to him to tell him in person/
2) I guess that's your call. Personally, I'd cool my jets a bit and let things develop on their own. You're clearly still communicating. See where it leads.
I agree with HK.

Having been married for umpteen years, I'm not well-versed on dating etiquette, but I do think that if you're only feeling the friend vibe you should definitely let him know, especially if you think he's feeling more. I don't think I'm comfortable with email for such a conversation. It seems rather impersonal and cold, but maybe it's me. As for the other, I see nothing wrong with a quick email acknowledging how much you enjoyed talking to him, but just leave it at that. I wouldn't press too hard because you might scare him off. Just let things progress, or not progress, naturally.

This Monday is a strange Monday, indeed.
The side effects of allergy medications keep some people from using them. Natural remedies can be a great alternative, but some are more effective than others.
