That's really easy to say but hard to do

Yes I can give more compliments, be more attentive, more interested in her, but its hard to provide excitement at the moment?

I adore this woman and love how she looks, but I can't do much about all that for now?

I can't just offer to take her out, we don't talk!!

Although we did all go for lunch as a family last month, and I asked her on a date, pursuing I know, but she didn't reply, but it didn't affect our relationship and friendship??

She knows me, so there is no hidden excitement
Maybe that's a gal I need to do???

She knows me too well, so I'm a little stuck

I think me being me without the drink and anger is all I need to be, but it has to be consistent over a period of time, 12 months? Who knows

Once I can prove that to her, then everything might fall into place???

But for now I have to back off again and leave her alone
