31. Being Affected
Line 2:
Affecting the calves.
Misfortune.
Staying put brings good fortune.
Not being called into action by a genuine influence, but just by anxiety or some impulse.(you actually used the phrase, "on an impulse" in your post above)-- Things will not go well if one acts. It is better not to react to this and stay put. Things will go well then.
(could it be that he sensed you went to the cafeteria "looking for him", and the time was just not right? too soon, or he was upset about something else?)
Line 4:
Persistence brings good fortune, aversion goes away.
Wishes, wishes, come and go.
Companions follow your intentions.
Having wishes. By making a decision and sticking to it, people can actually go with what you want. Then things will go well and aversion will go away.(you need to perhaps really try and connect with him in a robust way, not just bump into him?)
Line 5:
Affecting the back muscles,
without aversion.
Being affected by something one can count on, and that one doesn't dislike.
(When the back muscles are activated, one's posture becomes more straight. This is a sign of being energized.)
Hexagram is changing to:
46. Advancing
Advancing.
A foundation for progress.
It is useful to see a senior person.
Do not worry,
going South brings good fortune.
Advancing. This situation helps progress. It is useful to get the help of someone who is knowledgable and experienced. There is no need to worry, things will go well. ( sounds like there is some real potential and hope that there may be something genuine between you after all ! )
I guess I was thinking maybe to have an actual face to face, such as going out for dinner with the purpose of talking. But what do I know? You know, I have had the odd experience of feeling "called" to someone, only to have that person be resistant, as if they were in conflict with themselves.thanks foxx777,
you say could it be that he sensed you went to the cafeteria "looking for him", and the time was just not right? too soon, or he was upset about something else?
which is interesting because 'the impulse' was almost as if I was hearing his thoughts wondering if I was coming down for tea, or 'willing me' to come down for tea and when I did show up, he looked startled. So if he really did think that, I can imagine it'd be a bit of a shock that it 'worked'. Although, of course, the sensible interpretation was that he was upset about something else. The only weird thing is that I had no intention of going for tea until the 'sudden impulse'.
I don't understand you need to perhaps really try and connect with him in a robust way, not just bump into him?) what do you mean by that? I can't even be sure that I want to connect with someone unless they let me know by their behaviour (when I do bump into them) that they are interested in getting to know me. Anyway, right now I actually just hope I hadn't annoyed him by something i had said.
heh, I am not going to ask this chap out, no way. Apart from anything else, I wasn't born with a gaydar (if I had a dime for every time I thought there was 'something' just to find out the guy is gay) ...
