Sounds like a great idea, Jack. Unfortunately, the W will not be home tonight. I have to swing by her brother's apartment to pick up my S after my therapy session. I just don't think I would be able to get that put together in time.

That would be an example of some of the little things that I would normally do in love. Like getting her sunglasses fixed last week or making her coffee to-go this morning when she dropped off our S on the way to her therapy. I call them little wins, but I have been told to be careful of them, as my W may reject them as she is not in love with me right now.

I guess I just need to be careful not to go overboard, but take the small one's in stride. Calling her for the sole purpose of telling her a corny joke is probably different then providing a greater act of service or giving a larger gift.

Like Figg's suggestion that the sentimental song book that I got her for Valentine's be from my 6 month old S instead of me and NOT to give her the card.

I just need to learn what works and what doesn't. After the sunglasses, she asked why I would have done that for her. After the coffee, I got a thank you when she returned. After the jokes, I got lots of laughs and smile on her face.
