Hi pilot, I think it is good that you are considering a different path than the one you have been following. Try something new and see what happens! Worse case? You are in a crappy place. Well, you are in a pretty crappy place with your W lately so can it really get a whole lot worse? You were thinking of pressing forward with D just last week right?
Try WOA, try asking her out and give it a little time to sink in. Most of all show her your PMA and show her your positive changes! Be someone she would want to date! I mean, that is really the only point isn't it? You can be all distant and detached but if she looks at you and thinks yuck then she will be glad you are distant and detached.
