Somehow, I have to figure out how to court someone that has very little trust in me right now. That is a tricky one. Suggestions???


Bear in mind that she fell for you the first time, so why wouldn't she fall the second? Just make sure she's seeing earnest charm. In other words, no fake stuff that some guys try to use. She knows you too well. But women still like a charming man.

Don't try too hard. Don't over-kill. Act relaxed (even if you don't feel it).

Don't "watch" her. I used to date a guy who was crazy about me, but he would never take his eyes off me. I could see him out the corner of my eye just watching. It was a turn-off. Don't confuse that with looking into her eyes when you talk to her or when she's talking to you.

When the two of you are on a date or whatever, keep it light. Don't go dine where the atmosphere is too intimate. Not yet. (Unless it's going walking together.) Do things that maybe you've never done that might be fun.

Be sensitive to her moods. I hope you've learned how to read her better.

I am not sure if I should propose a dinner date. Or maybe go over to her place and cook dinner for her.


You still have time. We'll put our thinking caps on.

I think I am at a place where I need to cool it a bit, perhaps - or at least back off some. I don't want to scare her off.


I think it would probably be good if she iniatated the TM's, emails, and calls. You might pull back a couple of days and see if she pursues. You don't want to make it a game, but you're right...you don't want to press too much.

I'll give Valentines some thought.


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!
