I'm garbage at small talk, so if I can get someone going, I just use what they talk about as jumping off points to keep the conversation rolling. That ends up with me being "a great listener" and 'very collaborative". All I do is shut up and let people talk.

In addition to her getting me the cat for early Christmas. Michelle and I looked at a few places together this weekend. My lease isn't up until March, but we know we want to give that a shot again. We know some of the big mistakes we made last time, like me just moving into her established space instead of us getting a spot together, and we're having some talks between now and then to see what else we can do differently to make it work.

My guess would be that Chris took some time off because he has read the dialogue on this page 1,345 times and decided to spend some of his free time doing something besides beating a horse to death.

Yeah. I think we will. The talks about it and more open communication about what we both need from the other person and flaws we saw in ourselves have been going well. So I think we're on the right path. We're at least going about it smarter than last time with just jumping into it, especially having only known each other for 5 months.
