Gotta Keep Trying 2

[Greek]

So one thing you can do is to keep your ears peeled back for anyone who is having a birthday/office/anniversary/anything party that requires a cake. You put that person in touch with Mrs. GIMA b/c your wife makes THE best, most beautiful cakes. She may say no to the gig but the point is...well...you see the point.

Cheers.

Brilliant!!!!

Talking her up to others. I'm a little slow, but can learn when pushed.

Working on that. Unfortunately, there's not a lot of innuendo that goes along with cake decorating/design.

Pfft, ye of little faith.

My dear, drag your finger through a bit of frosting - you know, near the bottom where the cake hits the plate, or on your own plate once you have a slice - lick it off slowly. Talk about how creamy it is, how sweet. Better yet, drag HER finger through the icing and then lick it off...

Have I got you thinking yet??

[givingitmyall]

Yes...but she's researching cake stands online.

I know, pretty steamy stuff.

So look at her browsing history and buy her one. Gifts may not be her primary LL, but it's still a nice gesture. Include a flirtatious/suggestive note involving frosting.

Oooohhhh...Dia....you're good! Naughty, but GOOD!

Well, no potential fireworks, like over on Dia's sitch, but last night was nice. I felt a real connection with W. Humor and respect and...happiness. Happiness that WE felt together and that I have not felt in a while. Maybe astep in the right direction, and until proven otherwise, that's what I will chalk it up to.

W did stay up with me to watch the entire FSU-Miami game last night, which is not like her. Neither of us went to those schools, so it was purely from interest in football that I was watching it. She asked questions about the game, made comments, and was genuingely interested in the game and watching it with me. Almost like she is DB'ing me to show interest in what I enjoy. Or is this the good part of old W coming back? Who knows?

W was still in a good mood this morning. I wish she knew how beautiful she looks even before she has done her hair. I used to tell her that all the time, but she never sounded like she believed me. Her loss.

Looking forward to work this week, and just hanging out with my family. Who knows what positive things and opportunities there are out there.

Thanks Coach for turning me on to "Learned Optimism" - I think it's really making a difference in my outlook on life. In a very good way.

It all sounds really good. Like she's coming closer and rekindling feelings. I'm happy for you.

What is "Learned Optimism?"

[givingitmyall]

"Learned Optimism" is a book by Martin Seligman. Very interesting. Teaches you that you can change your outlook and attitude from pessimism to optimism. I'm reading it right now and highly recommend it.

Humor and respect and...happiness.

That is foreplay for some women. Don't knock it b/c it is very good that you two are in this place. I know it has been difficult for you but one thing that makes you want her "more" is just the fact you know she isn't interested.....so when you see a big sign reading "hands off", guess what you want to do? Exactly!
