Good work Bro, so happy for ya !!!! Wooooooot
Arthur..what do you think he should do??
Continue on, or change directions a bit? She's opened up to him a couple of times over the last week..Any suggestions??
maybe you can help us get page 3 rolling in a good direction.
Not sure Mike as not there and little scared to say something that might have a big backslide.
Here is my take on it, but remember, this is all just my opinion from the written stuff on here, not in the sitch and not hearing seeing the actions (That's my disclaimer)
Keep as is for a few days and see what her next move is, but maybe initiate the contact if not hearing anything for a day or two (hopefully you'll have reason to by then but can bring in stuff about the two of you if she prompts it).
I assume Brian goes in her place sometimes, try and sneak a look at the books
If you see DB in there, when she joins the forum, post anonymously encouraging her to do everything you would like her too etc etc ....lol
All joking aside (tough for me I know), it's hard to advice when not been in this spot. be interested in someone thoughts who's been there tho !!!
Mike at this point I am just not sure of a direction. I asked SC for a womens stand point but she hasn't responded yet. I know one thing, on Weds (my b-day) I am just going to offer her the invite to go out to eat with D11 and me, no pressure just put it on the table so to speak and go from there?

This sounds good. Arthur makes a good point about evaluating a day or two to see what the outcome is from the other day.
Did she contact you at all yesterday?

Aha and easy reason for contact Brian. Think the birthday meal is an awesome idea. I assume you would be seeing your kids so you could say you thought you'd take them out for a birthday meal with you and W was welcome to come also.
Let us know though, I'll follow along now, getting real interesting
She was able to say why she didn't call. You were able to respond to that honestly. The conversation went from there.
You are incredible.
Invite her with a smile but no expectations. Even if she doesnt go, she'll know she's included, that she's there.
*hugs*
Sweet Gypsy...I had gotten to SC's thread and asked her then got busy, I had planned on asking you also for a womans take but you came on your on accord you must have felt my thoughts.
It's like walking on Ice, if you shuffle along you don't slip, but when you take long strides you lose your footing and fall. Thanks for you insight... No expectations just trying to be there for her and put her first as Mike keeps beating into my HEAD LOL!
Hi there - on the B/D meal invite - IMO - you should ramp it up just a little - how would it play if you said "W, I'd really like it if you'd come along with D11 and me for my birthday meal"
Rather than just toss the invite out as a take it or leave it option...
