sunny,

I was thinking that you could DB & not risk it until pretty close up to the D date to establish some good feelings between you.


I think this is probably the best thing to do.

Maybe. I had discussed this issue initially with my DB coach (who I can't talk to until next Tuesday -- damn), and was going to bring it up to her. Then I decided that it might not be a good idea because it was R talk, so I decided that having it go through our L's was best. Maybe it wasn't, but I figured having W hear it from her L and thereby giving her time to think about it without the pressure of me being present might help. Obviously it didn't, but that was my thinking.

I think that maybe 2 weeks before the final D date, I will try to approach her about it.

It would have to be a well thought out & sincere approach, coupled w/a strong/confident man attitude.


I agree -- got any suggestions as how to go about blending these?

I think I would weigh it out & be prepared that it might not be greeted the way you wish for.


Oh I KNOW it won't, but I've still got to do this for ME -- for my peace of mind. One thing I think I need to do when this time comes, however, is to stay in the "Act As If" frame of mind, and this will help in the whole confidence part.

Thanks sunny,

GD
