Glad you posted this. I think it is just Sooner's thread. It may have gotten too big. I've tried to post to it and noticed that only the Edit worked.

Don't know that I really put that much thought into my response...maybe you meant that as a joke . The path just seemed straightforward to me. Keep it as simple as possible but no simpler. If good conversation attracts her to you, it may not matter what your actual position is. I don't know, but it's something to consider.

Last night was rather strange. My wife got the kid hooked up with staying over at a friend’s house so when I got home I was surprised and quietly pleased with the news, thinking (but not letting my hope jump up and down too much) that maybe she was interested in a romantic evening since we were alone (doesn’t happen much). I was wrong because although we had a pleasant dinner with wine, candles and nice conversation I noticed a hostility flaring up and down.


hmmmmm....here's a different interpretation. She was trying to set things up for a romantic evening. Hoping her desire would kick in. It didn't. She got frustrated. Some (many) people act angry when they are frustrated. Maybe?

You have gotten a few little steps in your direction. She's expressed some sympathy for you. She's given you information about what leads to greater attraction (or what she thinks might lead to greater attraction). And maybe she tried to set up a romantic evening. Nurture those little steps.

MPT (muppet? I'll have to think about that one. Not too many female muppets to pick from.)
