It feels like if I complete a 180 then she knows I will be alright on my own. I understand this is good for me and what i need, but not what I wish to happen in the end.
But that is exactly what she needs to know! She doesn't want to stay in a M b/c you need a mother and b/c you aren't strong enough, confident enough, sexy enought........
WAW's need to see the H leading with a "quiet", gentle but firm strength. Confidence is sooooo sexy! Yes, you prefer to have her in your life, but when she sees you improving yourself in order to have a better quality of life......I believe that would stir some interest.
The biggest area is to earn her respect.
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!
