It's creating some "squirrel moves" on her part but, most importantly, it IS WORKING FOR YOU!!!!
You feel better; you look better; you sound better; you are getting your confidence back!!
It's ALL GOOD!!
And you have the right attitude. Completely non-pursuing. Yeah, she looks great but you're starting to see the light.
Is she REALLY what I want? This appears to me to be the critical junction where the LBS becomes the WAS. You are now more concerned with YOUR life than hers. AND you are beginning to see the goodness that life has to offer.
You are doing great, my friend. Keep on the path you are on and don't stop or wait for anything or anyone.
If they want to be with you, they have a lot of catching up to do!!
Don't expect this bhvr to continue on her part or be disappointed when it stops. It's part of the squirrel moves.
Don't change what you are doing. You keep moving away. She'll have to follow or get left behind. And you are fine either way.
