Sorry, LBS, but asking to make love may not be the sign you hope it is. I think she may be taking a test drive to see if it sparks anything for her. If you have not already ML, you may want to postpone it a few days. She is worried about the lack of attraction. Why would she suddenly ask you to ML? Most women need other parts of the M to be better before they want to ML. She is still letting her emotions guide her. If she doesn't have her expectations met through sex, she will use that to convince herself she will never get the attraction back.
I'm sure it would be difficult for you, but don't be in too big of a hurry, b/c she isn't really ready. Even though most men want to have sex to work out the problems, most women are not geared in the same way.
It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
