I think it might be helpful to step back and realize that it's only been a couple of weeks. When did you start your DB efforts? It's easy to fall into the trap of wanting instant results for our actions. Unfortunately, as everyone here will tell you, this is a marathon, not a sprint. Or in terms of MMORPG lingo, now that you've respec'ed, you're going to have to gain more exp before your AOE can reach him. Make sure to not aggro him while you continue to earn your exp and continue to do your best at staying AFK. laugh

Remember, it took awhile for things to get to this point and if they are going to improve, it will take awhile for them to get better. The changes you make need to be solely for you. If you have looked at yourself and decided that you aren't where you want to be, then make those changes to be the person you want to be, not who you think he wants you to be. If in the process he is attracted to you, then that's icing on the cake.

You mentioned a few of the things you do. Are you also working out? I only ask because in my opinion, there's nothing better than a good workout to help with your state of mind. It doesn't have to be anything crazy, but even going for a walk everyday can make a difference. 20 min/day is the minimum they say if you want to start seeing a change. Also helps to take a look at your diet. Eating healthier can also make a world of difference on your mental state.
