"Even though she doesn't like the pursuing (clear by the standard eye-roll I get when I pursue), she seems to almost miss it when I stop doing it?? Can someone explain what this is??

Is she still in the "game"? Should I take this as a positive sign??"

Here's your answer. Make a note of it and then move on. Stop analyzing every little interaction. What's going to happen is that the next time she acts "distant" you're going to be coming here and complaining how she was so nice (just the casual dog food comment).

You're going to run around in circles trying to figure out you W's rationale of why she even asked you to pick up dog food. It's just dog food.
