Even though the date and the time together didn't go as planned, I agree with Sandi2 that it wasn't all a wash. You learned a few things, you had some honest conversation with W, you didn't sit around waiting and wondering what to do and you realized how much work you still have to do without getting freaked out about it. Great job!
Your W is telling you she needs to feel love from you, Sandi2 is right that you can show her some affection. Don't go overboard to the point where it seems phony or forced, but do what comes natural. Definitely on dates, and if you are with the kids hold her hand, touch her back, tell her how pretty she looks, etc. In order for her to be able to reconnect with you, she needs to get what she needs too.
Sounds like you are on the right path
Thanks LTH!
