Don't worry about it. You carry on your "business" you're not her lap dog anymore. The tables have turned. It is she who has to worry about you now... no longer the other way around.

This is mind-reading. Put an end to it. You stop worrying or wondering what she is thinking. This means you are still too attached. You need to detach more.

See above. This is wasted energy that you could be putting to better use elsewhere.

NO. Don't send that. That will come across as weak and is pursuing.

Do you see what you're doing? You're pushing again... i.e. pursuing. STOP THAT. You already know THAT DOES NOT WORK. Stop doing what doesn't work.

Your SILENCE until Saturday will be far more powerful than any words you can say to her. She is just waiting for you to start pursuing her again... and then you will return to the same cycle as before.
