Its learning to be patient and not try and make it go any faster that is hard for me. I tell myself everyday that it will take time and not to push anything. I am on her time not mine. Sucks but that is life. Better this than the alternative.

Thanks for asking.


Hey D, you're right, it is better than the alternative. Focus on you. Be as attractive as you can be. Try to think back to her complaints over the years, & do a 180 for those.

Hang in there. You are doing great with being patient.
