Yea I tried doing the flirty e-mail too. One day she said that if I would just mention early in the day that id liek to have sex that night, she would look forwrd to it all day and there would be a build up. HA.. I sent her a flirty e-mail (nothing overtly sexual, somthing to the effect of -grrr you looked hot this morning getting dressed I cant wait to come home and get you undressed!!) When I came home she flipped out on me for sending that stuff to work. I think some people are just wired differently for flirting. Maybe try some logic on him. Tell him.. look you may think you look horrible, but I dont, I think youre HOT and i want you. He 'should' tell you youre beautiful, its his opinion that matters most. Random men saying youre pretty doenst do much for you if the only one who's opinion counts doesnt make you feel pretty. Its good that he hugged and kissed you. I wouldnt hold my breath either. Ive heard the "I'll work on us" "I'll be better to you" "I'll make more effort" speech 100 times, the proof is in the pudding...
