A friend and colleague is going on a conference-symposium in about three weeks to Brazil. He suggested that i should go. I'm thinking about it although it may be pricey. I'm going to check how much. Maybe it's a big step in GAL? comments??
If it is something you really want to do for yourself, then I think you should go. However, if you go thinking this will work toward pulling her toward you in the MR.....then don't do it since it is so expensive.
Rob, I went back over your thread again and I see places that I think you may misunderstand the applications. Like when I spoke of you being more agressive, you thought of it as in terms of ML. I was talking in all ways. You making decisions about things, maybe being more vocal in expressing your POV, or making the first move toward some other application. It isn't all about sex. And these things I am talking about is where she will begin to have more respect for you.
I believe you are way to clingy and needy and that comes across to her very loudly. Your fear is obvious, so she reads that loud and clear. I think the only way you are going to get yourself out of that mode is to find the strength to drop the rope you have tied to her emotionally.
It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
