Hello friends, this morning I did a reading asking to the I ching what is the effect on the development of a friendly relationship I share with a young man for who I feel a lot more then simple friendship. The question's related background is that he broke up with his former girlfriend and me with my boyfriend and during that time we have been very close each other and shared mutual psychological support. When all of this happened we where living at little distance one from the other but he came back to his town and since then (one month about) we didn't stop keeping in regural and about daily contact. I sometimes felt the need to make clear to him that I really hope for him to come back close to me and that what I feel is more than friendship but he just kept answering about what is coming next to his life and avoiding a proper and direct answer to such a manifested interest. So this morning, feeling a bit down and may be tending to see things negatively I asked to the I ching:
"What should I expect to happen based on my expression of, not explicit yet intelligible, romantic interest on him?!?"

The answer has been 38.1.6
I have often read that when the given response take a form of an hexagram such this where the two changing lines are the first and the last one, it must be read as a situation that is already past, as it is describing what already happened so that the answer would be the resulting hexagram wich in this case is hexagram 40. I don't really know how to interpret the first hex and I even less feel sure about the meaning of the second hex especially when it is talking about some "carriages you are holding" or something to be released. It makes me wonder if it is referring to my hope for romance or if to my past relationship or things not strictly connected to our friendship but perhaps to beliefs or unnecessary habits. Can you give me insights about the interpretation of both hexagrams and how to see the two changing lines in a wider reading perspective?!?

Hello Cieloeterra!

"What should I expect to happen based on my expression of, not explicit yet intelligible, romantic interest on him?!?" The answer has been 38.1.6
He'll take some distance (emotionally) (38). 38.1 advises you not to run after "the lost horse" as he returns himself; and in 38.6 someone is cynical about others, then realizes they mean no harm and throws his guard off. That brings about Relief (40). I'd say you can openly talk about your emotions after he feels at ease and decide what to do about it.

Good Luck!
