EG,

You're doing too much pursuing, in my opinion. Little acts of service like the mechanical pencil thing are good. Trying to initiate LMing -- not so good.

In the past week, you've said that her being in a BAD mood is good, and her being nicer is good. I appreciate your optimism, but I would encourage you to not try to "read" her so much -- it's the antithesis of detachment. (For the record, I think the BAD mood = good is generally true, as it shows they are dealing with their issues and it's healthy).
