....I hope she brings up something related to our relationship and actually wants to engage (vs. just dropping the D bomb).

I may ask her how she is feeling.


Good luck to you. You have been getting some great advice. You need to focus on GAL and 180's and let go. She is going to do her thing and make up her mind anything you try to do is just going to drive her away.

Don't hope she talks about the relationship. If she does look her in the face and tell her that she needs to figure out what she wants for herself and whether it includes you or not. Let her know that you are making changes to your own life, reading self improvement books and trying to do some of your own soul searching, but are not ready to share any of that with anyone as it is too early in the process for you.

The more you need and emotionally smother her, the more you will drive her away. Focus on your GAL and 180's. Do some things to make yourself a better more interesting man for her or for the next woman that comes into your life. If you can internatize that attitude and follow the DB principles, you stand a good chance of winning her back. Good luck
