Me 8 months on, dark and trying to detach.

[InnerStrength]

Hey HWA, I don't have any advice to add, and it seems like you're DBing fine anyway -- but I just wanted to empathize. I have decided to go dark as well, because while W and I had gotten pretty close as friends it just seemed to be going nowhere over the months. Pulling back makes me fear losing her completely as well. I try to jump on these boards and read success stories where the LBS had to disappear for a bit to catch the WAW's eye to make me feel better about it -- sometimes, though not always, it helps. Keep on going, man.
