BR:
You're hilarious. I've never met a man (oops, wait yes I have and I'm married to him) who is so awful at reading women! lol

You are a very talented and smart guy but I think you are missing a LOT of her baby steps to you. She knows you have a foot fetish, so she asks you to get her foot thing ready...yeah, that's fishin for you to get INVOLVED in the process. She's using everything in her arsenal (of things that turn you on, I mean) to get your attention. Don't be afraid of getting brushed off; she might do that to "test" you to see if you are really serious. Just keep after her. She wants to be pursued, dude.

I know you are skittish about trusting her and I don't blame you. But she is pursuing YOU trying to get you to pursue her. So take the bait and stop the stupid games.

Maybe you could get her a pretty set of lingerie, a bra and panty type thing. Tell her she doesn't have to wear it for you but that you wanted her to have something pretty to wear during the holidays.

Is that too forward, lol! Ok, now you know MY secret Christmas wish!

Hang in there and I am so happy for you; you are slowly but surely luring her right back into your arms.

Honey
