It matters not what others "think" what W "thinks" unless she's asked out right. So this is an exercise in futility.
Back to the discussion on texting the WAS.
What I want for newbies is to learn from our experiences as we've done this and that...got the t-shirt. We're passing on our wisdom and experiences from our own trials and errors.
Here's what I've learned in texts with Ms. Wonka.
-Alluding to "thinking of you...."...or "this made me think of you..." is simply a no-go. I've never, NEVER got a response back from Ms. Wonka when I've used any of those words. Precisely because it puts the spotlight on her and puts the focus on the fact that I was thinking of her. This is a form of subtle pressure for it comes across as sort of pursue-ing-ish
-Making a reference to a body part or hinting at it...silence
-Talking about places and events that speaks of "us"...you could hear a pin drop
What worked for me are:
-Speaking of neutral subjects
-Fun, light, breezy stuff
-Humor/jokes (not out of the blue...but during texts back and forth)
-Simple acknowledgement of birthdays
-Wishing each other Merry Xmas and Happy New Year
-Friendly competition (such as NCAA Final Four, NFL because those are our common interests)
