> If he works with people with eating disorders he's probably aware that weight can be an 'issue' no matter what a person's body shape. Many women who aren't overweight at all have 'issues' with weight. So I don't think you should worry that he thinks you're fat.
Well, I am overweight, but I'm not worried about his asking, just curious WHY he asked. I'll ask him, and see what comes of it. I don't think quickly enough on my feet to think of these things as they come up. Wish I did.

Direct is really good for me, unless it's intimidating, which it's not with him. When someone is direct and forthright about everything, then I feel I can be too. I want someone sensitive and understanding, but not someone who will baby me too much on normal everyday stuff. There are issues that I have, from my past that should be handled with kid gloves, we haven't gotten there yet. Will see how he does with that.
