OP Dancer Member D Joined: Jun 2001 Posts: 315 Tasmania, Australia	WH sent a text message the other nite at quarter past 12 (yes, I was in bed) asking... "Would you say you cope ok living by yourself?" I told him that I couldnt answer that properly via text message. I wrote a draft of an answer. But before I email it, Id like your opinions on this. What do you think motivated him to ask this and what sort of answer do you think hes expecting/hoping? What do you think?

He asked you 3x to stay for pizza and he was thinking about you at quarter past 12.<p>Does it matter what answers he is expecting doesn't it matter more what you really think and feel for him? If you have true feelings for him and you are not coping being alone, would it hurt to tell him this in a loving way?<p>No one can tell you what might happen or what he wants to hear. I just think that it might be better to tell him your true feelings and not think what might happen. You are not a "Fool" no matter what you tell him.<p>You cannot read his mind and if he is asking you just tell him. I'd just let him know in a calm and loving way. hugs BB
