As I suspected, the problem was all in my head. All is well!
I went out to dinner with friends last night (was planned weeks ago), and coincidentally she did too. After dinner, I called W and asked if she'd like to leave her car at her friend's place and we could drive home together. "Sure", she said, "come on over for a visit with <her friend> and we can drive home after that".
We ended up having a nice visit with her friend, then we went home...I was treated to a couple of hugs and kisses at stoplights.
I drove her back to her car this morning and we both went to work.
She said she is really looking forward to the weekend; we are going to finish putting all her stuff away in our apartment, then we are going on a harbor cruise, then to the aquarium...tourists in our own city.
I am putting virtually no romantic pressure on her, I am just being affectionate without going obviously overboard. So far, so good.
As I kept reminding myself while in the "Separated" forum - this is not a sprint, it's a marathon!!
