I am trying with the D but she seems resistant still. I asked her if she would like to go to dinner just me and her and I got IDK. But when the car would not start I was the first person she called.
IDK is much better than no.
just keep doing what you're doing. mix it up a little. you may have to do what 16 y.o. girls do. take her to a concert.
but she does know you are trying. and she does turn to you for help. and this is very good. make her car break down more often.
i dont think you'll get the response you want, but you have to find a way to be ok with that. sometimes just knowing you're there watching from the wings will be all she wants/needs.
