dating and Yi's answer, 52.6 to 15.

[icysky]

I was asking on the relationship outlook of this girl I had 1 date last week with and Yi's answer, was 52.6 to 15.

It seems like I'm not seeing her the next 2 weeks, so I got curious.

Hello icysky!

While many interpret the 52th hexagram as stopping and doing nothing, my take is that 52 shows keeping on, persisting, not changing. My personal experience confirms this.
So I'd say the things will remain the same as now for a while...
52.6: "Liu: Keeping still with benevolence. Good fortune." It is beneficial, and helps the things take their natural course.
Good luck!

Hey thanks! Yeah I think with normal perspective it's easier to read as not to do anything.
Personal experience is quite the rare gem!

Hard to say, but 52 could be suggesting that one not take too myopic or inward a view of things, a.k.a. its not just about you, right?

I'm taking wild leap here, but is there perhaps some 'stillness' here on one or both your parts? Maybe shyness, or quite or still moments - which if your a gabber like me can be misinterpreted as someone being uninterested. But for both or either of you, if your stillness is 'authenic', perhaps meaning a part of who you are, or just a natural shyness around getting to know someone - and not just a way of brushing someone off - then there is potential here, and you should stick with it to see where it leads.

I'm not sure about your 'two weeks' comment? Does it mean that you won't have a chance to see her until then? Or that is something you got from the reading? I didn't read anything about '2 weeks' in the reading so it made me curious.

Best, D.

52 can be interpreted as "staying yourself" (from LiSe's translation / 52 uc thread) and was mind blown when found out about it as some of my older readings suddenly made way more sense. with change in line 6 leading to 15 (modesty, authenticity) i think the cast is very much about being at peace with yourself (and with however things might progress). in terms of relationship potential i would read more into the image of 15: Within the earth, a mountain: The image of MODESTY. Thus the superior man reduces that which is too much, And augments that which is too little. He weighs things and makes them equal.

maybe it's worth checking in what areas your interaction requires equalizing some extremes?
or maybe you simply just already nicely balance each other

Thanks for both your replies.

@Freedda it could be that my perspective of things are too biased to myself, considering my experiences are uniquely my own, I don't think I have much other perspectives to observe the same situation.

She is rather reserved like myself, but in person she is quite radically different, it felt like we meshed well. She did say she more of an offing person than a online one. Personally, I never knew of a dating context that had minimal phone interaction. Minimal as in 10 mins of texting before silence for the week. it's quite wild and easily read as uninterested.

Ah 2 weeks came from the actual situation she was unwell and flying overseas the next week.

@legume
Honestly it wasn't easy to stay myself. I had been on online dating for about a month, and most conversation died within a few sentences, sometimes just asking for their intrest I was unmatched. Truly quite bewildering. I began to suspect is it me who is the problem, should I adjust and adapt to this new spectrum of dating culture. This is truly challenging my perspective.

Extremes? Probably, since every other match for me was so quick to die off. And so consistent, eventually I got a little robotic in processing these matches as a process than a person.
Now that I have text her a little more over time. Her replies still leave me surprised how little she interact on the phone, but have rare times we would be in a active conversation through text. I am coming to adapt to her method of texting.

Dear icysky,
Even though I lack experience myself, I thought I would give your reading a go. Having received hexagram 52 for relationship questions, I can say that it means there is a standstill, even though the people involved in the respective situation are keen on each other. However, you should not get disappointed but persevere, while maintaining the "tango embrace" that is required, especially in the first steps of a new romantic acquaintance.
Wish you all the best.

@Sylmia, thanks for trying this reading.
its quite encouraging to hear of your perspective, it seems quite optimistic. i do see this as something for the long term rather than quick success.

Hi all,

I would like to provide an update on this question thus far.
I have gone on 2 dates with her, both went relatively well. Although now there is an odd silence on her side now. she would look at my message but not reply, and it has been a week of such interaction.
I suspect it may be something going on her end and i'll still message her periodically to check in.

Was this what you guys found in the reading?

Thanks & Regards,
icysky

Hey guys, late and last update here. There is no tango embrace, she just ghost me since then. May this help y'all to understand iching better.
