It should be, I know.
But this is someone I've spent nine years pouring my deepest darkest secrets into. I've been completely open with him about who I am. I have grown to care about him as a therapist. And I'd like him to care about *me* as a client, but not just as a generic client, but as me. And yes, I'd like him to like me. Not in the let's catch a movie together sort of way. We have nothing in common that way, other than an interest in theology. And we're not even in agreement on that. :) But in the Dinah is a person that I would miss if I didn't see her any more, and not just for the income stream. He laughed when I asked that and said of course he'd miss me for more than the income stream. But they *have* to say that don't they? I want to *feel* it. I'm good at *feeling* things.
I can *feel* that you like me. I don't *feel* that he likes me.
