I don't know about the rest of you, but I've kissed strangers at midnight on New Year's. How did you miss at least a New Year's kiss? Yes, go for it. Sandi is right that you should court your wife, not just thump the side of the bed and expect her to strip and lie down. Why don't you suggest a nice dinner out with wine, at a restaurant you both used to enjoy? Take it slow. You could end up getting someplace if you have a direction.
