I've just caught up and this stood out to me

Quote:
I think because I said what I wanted and was direct, it was assertive and decisive and this works.

along with her saying I don't want to be the one making all the decisions.

God knows that's how I felt. I think if she may really want you to put your foot down. I did a lot of crazy stuff because I was hoping to get some sort of reaction out of him and he'd given up in terms of saying anything.

I'm wary of giving you direct advice...I'm no DB coach. Have you had a session? I know money's tight but I stretched for one...the exchange rate is on our side and it was well worth it!!

But I will ask what is it that you really want? And what will get you closer to that goal? If she likes you being direct and aggressive then she may want a big grand gesture...
