MCS, now is not the time you start DBing. You've been DBing all along. If you did a shitty job DB'ing, your W would not be lightening up her NC.
What I see now, is that you are trying to rush things. Your MC got canceled, so you are now trying to invite her to lunch. Bro, thats a pretty big leap, but only you know if thats ok for you to do. If you do, be prepared if the answer is no. Have you ever thought that your so anxious to see her but MC got cancelled, but maybe she feels the same way? So waiting an extra week is not necessarily a bad thing? Just makes the tension build up more? Maybe get some new cologne for next week?
Slow it down. It took you....how many months? 6 months to get to this point? don't rush it and keep letting things naturally progress (I need to take my own advice). IMO, I wouldn't invite her to lunch. Not yet. But thats your call.
What is going on with W and OM? Ive read in a few posts that she seems to have let off of that? But you're not sure if they still are in contact?
