Now Michele talks about testing the waters, but what I'm refering to is completely different.
You see, a WAW doesn't want you. She's ready to dump you and go be free to love another and have a grand ole time. But, she expects you to have a real hard time with that, and if you act as if you aren't really bothered that much.....well then she has to try some things out. She wants to know if you're putting on an act and if she was to turn on the charm if you would be like always and ready to fall into bed with her. She might show up at your place late one night, probably all weepy over something.....don't know her feelings about things,etc. Kind of leaning into you all needy like. You get the picture. She may even have sex with you, but rest assured it would all be over the next day b/c you were too "easy" for her to get.
She may get dolled up and try to flirt with you to see how much sexual pressure you can endure before caving to her hot body. That's when you have to give her that Rhett Butler grin and walk away.
That's the kind of tests I'm talking about. The more she thinks you may be dumping her instead of her dumping you.....well then....that's a horse of a different color! You will have her full attention on trying to get you back.
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!
