You are making progess with yourself, however, I have to agree with Bond and say that you need to stop asking for hugs to be your Christmas gift (or any other gift), and stop trying to get pressed up close to her, and no kisses!
If you had any idea of how much that works against you, then you would make sure that you did not even hint of any affection.
We have seen this sort of thing played out in other people's threads before, how the WAW who is in an A will "play" around with the LBH. It's like she is testing to see that she can control you by all her sexual teasing. If she thought for one minute that you were losing interest in her, she would try to take you down and force herself on you. It's happened many times in other stories.
But, here's the thing Nas, she really does not want you.....not right now. She is toying with your feelings. Like warning you not to try anything with her that night, then the next day telling you "if" you had tried she'd probably have melted. Please! I don't even want to know the look on your face when she told you that!
This is not only a mean game but it is disrespectful. I can tell you exactly what she would have done if you had tried anything! So, don't get your hopes up and don't read anything into that stuff she's saying.
Back in the day, girls like that were called a "tease" and that was not a complement! Whenever she pulls that stuff, just remember how she flirted with those other guys right in front of you.
You need to pull way back. She needs to feel the loss of "you". You are too available and whenever she lets you put your arm around her then you grab the chance. Not attractive. It makes you look desparate.
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!
