Marcum, you need to stay in the "friend" stage for a while, until things smooth out and you both have the feeling you can take it a bit further.

Friendship is the best you can hope for right now, so don't rush it. Take your time, that is the only way she will come around.

Me: 54
Her: 50 and sexy as hell
M: 32yrs
T: 34yrs
Bomb: Sept 26-07 "lost our emotional connection"
Bomb 2: Dec 25-07 she's "not feeling desire"
She asked if she could come home Apr 26-08!
Everything's GREAT!
