Interpretation help for 33.1.3.6...

[smartbea]

Hi there

I have just asked this question - "What are X's intentions towards me?"

The answer, 33.1.3.6>17 makes me wonder. I understand it as 'X will retreat in order to make a follower' as in, X feels that by retreating from me, that will spur me into following him...

Heard from him recently, his message sounded like he wanted to rekindle 'our thing' but I politely retreated cos I have a new boyfriend now (been two months only). Truth is, I still have strong feelings for X but I am forcing myself to move on since X is not available himself.

I am fairly new to the I-Ching and would like to hear of others' opinions on this reading, if possible...

I thank you in advance for sharing your time and experience on this.

Anyone got any ideas on this? Is my interpretation way off? I'd appreciate some feedback, thanks.

here's a reading that seems kind of obvious, doesn't it?!
I'd say he intends to retreat graciously but may be finding it a bit difficult to do so.
Th yi could also be referring to your stance as well.

there is no point in rekindling a romance, no matter how alluring it was, if each of the parties is unavailable. 33.6 sounds like advice!
