Well...had my chat the DB coach this morning & she suggested the following.

1. Be more enthusiastic with my greetings whenever I meet my W (like when you catch up with a long lost friend). Try to be more playfull and try to flurt a little. Hopefully this will set the tone for the interaction.

2. Start to do more activities instead of just meeting for dinners..etc. This will take the pressure off having to have small talk/conversation and provide some excitement and something to look forward to.

I am still apprehensive whenever we get together and I'm sure it shows through. I am definetly in the friendzone and am scared of trying to take it to the next level. Playfulness and flurting will not be easy for me.

As far as doing more active hookups instead of dining/drinking....well I'm already doing all those things solo. I just need to somehow invite her to join me without making it seem like a formal date. She is receptive to anything revolving eating/drinking.....but other activities....I'll have to see.

If anyone has any advice about how to step it up a knotch when you are friends...I would appreicate any comments.
