When we first met we weren’t "in love". We started as 2 people who were mutually attracted to one another and found out we had a lot in common. We moved fast, maybe too fast by living together right away and never gave us a chance to just date.

A few months later we realized we fell in love with each other, and I don’t regret any of that. Nothing is so different now from 7 years ago. I am the same man you met then, only a better version.

What harm can it do if we started over from day one and see where it leads us? No pressure on anything else [no pressure on living together or being married], just us dating. I can pick you up, or we can meet out, or you can come to the house.


Now since I have 13 days I am looking for all the input on tweaks/changes to that statement I can get. Or, do I not even lay that on the table? I figure this session could be a game changer, no matter what is going on in her mind when we go in.



I would keep this to yourself for now.

You are placing an expectation on this, that isn't going to go well.

Pursuing
Bargaining
Clingy
Manipulative




I have to agree. These all sound like fantastic ideas, but I think that your point will come across if she comes to these conclusions herself, based from your actions.
