What is there? Hex 3>50 feelings and longing for connection?

[Hopeandjoy]

Hello,This is my first shared reading, I am new here and would be very grateful for feedback. The reading in question is in regards to a man I am very attracted to, I love to see him and speak to him, I think he is lovely and admire him so much and so many little things about him as well. I feel deep caring, appreciation for him, longing to spend time with him.I have felt at times this connection with him is mutual however very challenging to express due to the circumstances around our meeting.We are working together currently on an assignment that is only for a few more weeks. It is a small space with others collaborating as well. My role is as something of an assistant to him and he is in a role where everyone looks to him for direction- at which he is incredibly kind, thoughtful and generous in seemingly all of these interactions. Truly a beautiful person and I love our interactions, eye contact that we'll hold prolonged, him being so thoughtful remembering bits of what I've shared and I know these are little things but they feel so full to me, I love the energy of being near to him and am hopeful this connection could be mutual, to continue and grow in a more open and less confining setting..I asked yi:His Feelings for me 3.1.2.3.4.5.6>50This seems significant the all lines are changing! Perhaps he feels this challenges as well as 3 indicates difficult beginnings, but 50 is wonderful perhaps he feels this wonderful energy and potential too?His intentions towards me 57.1.2>61I feel this could be hopeful as 57 gives me a sense of not being forceful and perhaps his intentions would be sort of going with the flow of things although I am curious how 61 inner truth is resulting and the significance of this.Potential for romantic relationship 46.2.3>2Perhaps yes? I am unclear about the empty city. Line 2 is hopeful and ultimately hex 2 gives me hope that the potential is there, that both of us are receptive to this and it's just a matter of the circumstances that could lead to this have to yet be created?1st I asked what will happen at the End of assignment 51.1.2.4.5>29Something surprising with 51 is all I could gather.Then I realized I should be more specific:What will happen between us following the end of the assignment 24.1.2.3.4.5.6>44Again all lines changing! 24 to 44 I am hopeful we will continue to be connected. I am told 44 means not to marry but I hope this is not the case. Maybe it also indicates that we will continue to collaborate on creative work, and our relationship may grow in that way?I am very grateful for feedback, thank you so much for your time in reading this and any advice you may impart, I am grateful to you.Thank you- Faith

Hello Patienceandjoy!

You have several readings. For instance I give my comment on easier ones for me.

His Feelings for me 3.1.2.3.4.5.6>50
When all the lines change you should look at the two hexagrams rather than lines; or as they say, all lines are being rapidly expired, turning the first hexagram to the second.
So his sprouted (3) feeling for you is passing through the initial attraction, transforming to a higher experience where you are integrated into his life slowly but effectively(50).

His intentions towards me 57.1.2>61
He wants to penetrate himself in your life subtly (57) and win your trust (61).
57.1: "Liu: Advance and retreat. It benefits the military person to be firm." He won't come forward aggressively, instead constantly comes back and forth to establish the connection little by little.
57.2: "Liu: Wind under the bed. Many fortune-tellers and witches are used. Good fortune. No blame." Seems like he has the doubts we all have at the beginning of relationships, trying to find ways to know about the other person and the future as soon as possible. Maybe he's seeking advice, too?

Potential for romantic relationship 46.2.3>2
Your romance is progressing (46) in an open field (2).
46.2: "Wilhelm/Baynes: If one is sincere, it furthers one to bring even a small offering."If you believe in the sincere feelings- as seems like you do- a little movement can push the things considerably forward.
But what about the empty city of the 3rd line? Let's read the commentary: "Confucius/Legge:He advances upwards as into an empty city -- he has no doubts or hesitation." Other commentators also mention a similar meaning. So go for it, don't let the hesitation hold you back!

What will happen between us following the end of the assignment 24.1.2.3.4.5.6>44 Again all lines changing!
You'll return (24) to each other to have sex/form a couple (44).

All readings are hopeful! Please don't miss the time, take the advice, and keep us informed.
Good Luck!

Oh marybluesky, thank you so much for your time and generosity in interpreting these readings!I have felt so much of what you say to be true he does take that 57 approach exactly! its encouraging to me that you are reading the mutual connection is said to be present, however as far as the advice to advance and avoid hesitation I wonder how to do so in my present position. He is in a higher position which is one boundary I feel I need to navigate it might seem inappropriate to be too blatant. Likewise there is little to no space for privacy between us and so our interactions are in the presence of others, one person in particular asked me questions about him one day after she overheard us speaking.As such I try to be open to him, pray for guidance, lots of nonverbal communication but I dont know how else I can. I also see I have less time on this project than I thought, the deadline will be the end of this week and I dont know how I can see him after.I asked yi once more What will he do by the end of this week?46.1.2.3>24Hopefully this means he will make an advance or create potential for us to return to each other after the project ends.Advice to me in, what actions should I take this week regarding my connection to him?45.1.4.5>24Continue to be open and clear with him but this also speaks to gathering together in a group as we are.Also seems significant both of our actions/advice result in hex 24 so I suppose the guidance will very much be coming from there, if anyone might have any further feedback?I will write back with updates by the end of the week.With gratitude- Faith

Delayed update - while the possibility/potential to work together in the future may exist I feel very disappointed. A connection seemed very evidently there one day and then the next day very firm detachment on his end. I thought he felt the same way so am sad and trying to be kind to myself.

It seems to resonate with your cast about his intentions, 57.1.2>61, where the first line talks about advance & retreat, and the second about doubts and using fortune tellers.
The cast about romantic relationship potential- 46.2.3>2- also advises you to put away the doubt and make a move- have you tried to push the connection forward the everyday matters? Curious.

Thank you so much, that is true, the 57 exchange of back/forth behavior. I did try to approach him and be brave on the last day of the assignment and he just said "thank you, good bye", - I did make a move to reach out but he was very clear he didn't want to speak further at that moment, for whatever his reasons may be.As far as everyday matters moving forward we are likely to work together again, on a different project which is unexpected but I agreed to. I am not sure if he knows this, as in his role he does not coordinate who is assigned to work where. I am grateful, and will hope to release doubt and be brave again - if opportunity presents itself and anything is meant to be of this, I will write to update. Many thanks.
