When we were talking out back last nite, I did assert myself and make a specific request of her. I said there was something she could do that would really help me, and that when we were sending each other flirty text messages earlier in the week, and she fell asleep on the couch and after two nights in a row of poor sleep for her, I let her sleep, that if she would just ACKNOWLEDGE it somehow the next day. Maybe send me a text saying "Hey, thanks for letting me sleep -- how about a raincheck?" or something, to let me know she was still thinking about me, that that would help me stop the negative cycle.
It's needy and supplicating, almost by definition, but I'm thinking the need to assert ourselves sexually and better express our needs might be more important.
In any event, I'm going to try to initiate tonite and/or tomorrow, and am going to make sure to do it forcefully and playfully, and if I get rejected, it's going to be more of a "hey, your loss hotcheeks!" thing.
