Trying LRT - Please Help!

Kara,

Thanks for stopping by. Here are my answers.

You have to make the most of the opportunities when you do see him. How are you when you see him?

The last time I saw H for any lenght of time was at the kiddos Christmas party. I had a good time. Didn't initiate much conversation with H and neither did he. I found myself being more at ease this time. In the past, when physically around H I would tend to get nervous. 'Acting as if' wasn't much of an act this time, it seem to come naturally.

How are you usually dressed? Are your outfits predictable? Is your makeup the same?

I have participated in some retail therapy and bought new, less mom-like clothes. I try and wear these new pieces when I anticipate running into H. I have started to wear more dramatic eye shadow too. In the past, I took the more natural and less bold look with make-up.

Have you changed anything about your appearance?

Hair cut is basically the same, but instead of air drying it I try to style it more in the mornings. Since H has moved out I have gotten some new glass frames that are a little more out of my typical style.

Does he pick up the kids from your house or can you meet somewhere else and strike up a conversation?

This is the hard part. We never run into each other when swapping the kids. For example, I will drop off the kids at school/day care in the morning and he will pick them up or vice versa.

With that said, H will be dropping the kids off at the house tomorrow night due to some work conflicts. So there is an opportunity to shine.

Also, S6 does start up with his bball games next Saturday. We will be running into each other for the next several weeks because of these games.

It may be worth it to try something different. Something to captivate and spark interest. The first thing to remember is that men are visual creatures.

I am all ears if you have any other suggestions. I would welcome all your input.
