i disagree with the heart to heart. relationship talk rarely leads to action. I would go for non-stop flirting and pursuing. No need to test the water assume it is hot.
"but then when night rolls around, she falls asleep on the couch and isn't as responsive."
remember when you were young, really young lola and there was a girl you wanted and you would chase and pursue and get nothing. spend your entire paycheck, drive 25 mile each way and if you were lucky get to put your hand up her shirt. it was the pursuit that drove you and weakened her. same story fast forward 20 -30 years.
No, I don't mean heart-to-heart R talk. I meant heart-to-heart 'what turns you on' talk.
By all means chase her, I am in all agreement. Women loved to be chased, it makes them feel ultra-attractive. In fact, the chase is sometimes more fun than the sex. The chase is foreplay to women. If you don't chase then you're not giving her foreplay. That's why she doesn't feel attractive, I assume.
That is why I say, chase her, then ask her what she likes in bed - the heart-to-heart. Is it visual stimulation? Some imaginative play e.g. role playing? Does she want to envision being strangers again and go flirt and do that route? That's what I mean by heart-to-heart. What turns her on. Did she have to 'win over' OM, is that why she felt attractive? That's why I am encouraging you to figure out. Because right now, it's all guesswork and you are nowhere.
