I have been doing a lot of thinking the past couple of days and have took a real hard look at my dating habits with exW.
I've come to realize I was being very selfish and putting a lot of pressure on me to make this work which in turn was being sensed by exW.
I actually feel less pressure now that she told me she wants to just be friends, I mean really we have to be friends first before being romantic.
Here is what I plan on doing tonight.
On the way to dinner I am going to apologize to her about being insensative to her feelings on Sunday night when she text me that she was upset an did not want to talk and I kept pushing her to talk.
I am also going to aplogize for being a selfish jerk and not respecting her body language on Weds nite which said I do not want to make out. This lead to the speech.
Hereb is what I am going to tell her "exW I respect your wish for us to be friends right now and I agree 100%. I just want you to have a good time tonight without any pressure and whatever happens happens. If you feel I am crossing your boundry please tell me and I will stop"
If the date goes real well I am going to end the night with this.
"exW I had a really great time tonight, how about I call you sometime this week and maybe we can hang out and watch a movie?"
