How 2 balance detaching & improving communication?

My first reaction is, you play with fire (i.e. Truth or dare) and you are going to get burned. Second, when your W said she wanted to kiss you, you should have responded by laying one hell of a passionate kiss on her lips! Missed opportunity, IMO.

Be careful of crossing core boundaries. Know what they are and stick to them. Your W was testing you and you almost passed the test. But you hedged a little which gives your W a sort of greenlight to explore in areas that you are't comfortable with.

Be more careful next time.

Oh, BTW seems like she is warming a little.
