Do you know if her LL is Acts of Service or Gifts?
I think I remember reading that it's our nature to show the S love through "our" own LL, but if that's not the other S's LL, then they may not recognize it as a show of love.
What I'm trying to say is that she may have acted out through her LL (say it's gifts)toward you. That's how we say ILY is through whatever our own LL is. Then when we learn what the other S's LL is, we try to say ILY through her LL.
So, the things she did are valid points.
Allow yourself to feel the encouragement, but don't go all ga-ga over her. It will be tempting for you to do something in response to that.....but don't. Make her work for you, remember? Don't pursue her. Don't get anxious.
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!
