Sizing up the task ahead!

[Papa4Life]

Thanks 2.4, I'm glad you took my post in the spirit in which it was intended. As I've said repeatedly, a lot of the time when I'm responding to others, I'm really talking to myself. Writing things down helps me organize my thoughts so hopefully we both can benefit if by some miracle I happen upon a valid point, then maybe it gives us both something to think about.

As for the latest developments, I would say the odd hug/cuddle is a baby step. Just don't get overly excited about it, because as you said, in the very next breath she can tell you she still wants out. It's like she's trying on a coat in the store and you're the salesman. Don't follow her around the store and pressure her into buying. Just compliment her on how it looks, let her take her time to make a choice and let the goods sell themselves with no pressure. Is that a good comparison?

Anyway, there's nothing wrong with reciprocating when she initiates contact, just don't be overly enthusiastic about it and have ni expectations. This is just as much for you as it is for her, because if you move to wuickly it'll make W think you feel that everything is great again, and if you get too excited you'll be disappointed when she starts pulling back again in that cycle of approach/retreat. Just be patient and think baby steps.

Adventure? Excitemeny? A Jedi seeks not these things.
