I tell myself on the way home that I am just going to do it, then I get there and I don't. I need to just stop all this overthinking and wondering and just step up to the plate and be a man about it. The worst that can happen is she pushes me away and how is that any different than where we are now, right.
Are you flirting with your wife? A wink goes a long way...and gives her the chance to flirt back. Which to me is a green light to go a step further. Be playful.
I do agree with Mike, stay a bit detached with this. Otherwise you'll be getting your feelings hurt all over the place. Then we'll really have to slap you around.
