Sad To Be Back 4 Years After The Bust

[Gnosis]

Correction to your correction - she is doing what she feels she needs to do

ROFL. Yeah, I forgot that! Us men think and women feel. A very important thing to remember.

Good that you decided to go! One small step in the right direction.

Please be mysterious though and DON'T tell her you're going alone. I don't see anything wrong with replying that two people will be going. Leave it out where she can see it and let her wonder. As for the party, when you get there, there's nothing wrong with saying that something came up and your date couldn't make it. If the invitation asks for the name of the person attending (for seating labels) just write "partner" in there.

There's nothing wrong with shifting some of her attention away from herself and onto you. When the time draws near and she asks you what to wear all you say is, "Um, I haven't decided if I want to go with you yet. If anything changes, I'll let you know."

This way you keep your options open. If she expresses EXTREME interest in going you can always decide to LET her join you. Don't pin your hopes on this and in your mind accept you are going by yourself.

Arrggh!!! The games we have to play to win our loved ones back!
