Thanks for the reply Maverick32x!
Well we were really close about two months ago, and as the weeks have drawn on its got stranger (excuse the pun). We would hardly have a conversation, but then later she would give me a hug and say I was like family.
I went away for a month long holiday, and came back only recently. I thought maybe the time away would make things better, but it hasn't. We'd had all these plans to go to different places (national parks etc) but I can't even get a conversation at the moment.
In reflection perhaps I'm expecting things to be always like they were, and I guess perhaps that's unreasonable. Good old Pink Floyd:
"If I were a good man, I'd understand
The spaces between friends. "
But I can't get past these anxious feelings that I've done something wrong that I've said something or I've tried to talk to her too much. And it's like if I talk to her to confirm/deny this, I feel I might shoot myself in the foot (what if I make it worse?)
