The key is to do what works and to not do what doesn't work. Sounds much simpler than it is. Since you are not using the last resort technique, the rules are more like guidelines that you will deviate from. You have to figure out what is working and what isn't and because you are doing many things at once, it is hard to know what to focus on.
You also need to try things that may feel wrong.
It does seem like you are a bit too available. You maybe should have gone to let her in, but then left and not done the food thing. Do things differently than you normally would. Completely the opposite in many cases. Be a bit mysterious and unpredictable.
Good luck!!!
