Mike, I am far from out of the woods yet this is a long journey we are all on, believe me when I say I take nothing for granted I have done that for too long my friend.
Are you saying you can't see the "Forrest" for the trees in SmartCookie's post..LOL
No, you're not out of the woods yet but the reason for me "yelling" at SC was to get a Woman's perspective.
You and I and every DAM here have proven from our past that we did not know anything at all about women. We are both learning, some of us faster than others.
The reason for my post to you. You have a really good chance. I saw it early on. We all see it. Only you can show her.
Now, SC put you on the path through the "Forrest" lol..I swear man, you get off that path and I'll personally swing through Raleigh NC, pick my heavy up(ping1) and we'll flail your legs and upper body with golf clubs.
"just do this"
Now, stand back and observe as SC said.
She will be coming back. You have to be ready.
Be prepared for "good" W and be prepared for "bad" W.
