I am a little confused here on what it is you are trying to accomplish... You seem to have gotten off track.....
I thought the main objective is to reconcile? We have gotten her to the point where it has been quite possible, but you seem to have veered off from the principles that will do that....
You ever play any sports?
Get back to the basics... You are getting off kilter. You can NOT blame her for you being off kilter... Men who are successful with women don't allow that to happen....
Come on. She has been chasing you all over the place and you can't seem to reel her in? Oh Please.. spare me...
Back to the basics.....
Happy men are attractive to women... Therefore be happy Confident men are attractive to women.. Be confident.
DECISIVE men are attractive to women... (you have been looking very very undecisive.. very unattractive) Become decisive...
Men that seem to be going somewhere with their life are attractive...
Men who are emotionally strong are attractive.. (you sound emotionally weak)i.e. afraid of getting hurt, constantly bringing up the past.. etc. etc...
You want to see her or date her or whatever... Then do it.. Wishy washy is unattractive. Be decisive...
JUST DON'T tell her how you feel about her.. Tell her you just want to take it one day at a time. Tell her you don't WANT to talk about the relationship. You just want to have fun. You aren't commiting to anything. You tell her she can do what she wants and you will do what you want. Whatever happens happens...
You have to come across like no matter what happens it all is water off a duck's back to you. She wants to give up... Fine so be it.. You have given up too...Agree with her... "Yep, I agree with you that you can't make me love you."
Quit being so wishy washy.. You want to move this forward then quit being mean and punitive. (remember I told you that being mean and punitive is WRONG) Stop being rude. It is ok to be strong and decisive but it is counter productive to be tit for tat and constantly talking about how she "controls, or did this or did that"... Let IT GO MAN...
Make a decision... Next time she calls or texts and sounds like she wants to be with you.. Ask her to do something fun WITHOUT your daughter.... Have it planned, but make it sound spur of the moment.. Then GO DO IT and take charge of NOT talking about the relationship and just get back to the basics of having fun and being a man....
