Hi Edz, I agree - best to keep things low key. Particularly if your W has mentioned the word 'pressure.' WAS's are very sensitive to 'pressure' and even the mention of how things may be going forwards - like what should we do with the key - can be felt as that, even if it seems a small thing for us.

I do think there are some positive signs, and for sure your W is thinking about things. For now, I would make your policy to not initiate anything else. Remember when you didn't text one day and your W seemed to miss you? Now, she's getting flustered at the mention of the key. It's all feedback.

As for the dinner invite, I would leave that completely alone for now and have no expectations it will happen. If your W comes back and says, hey shall we go out to dinner as we discussed - you can check your availability (around pre-planned GAL) and confirm. But don't raise it with her again - it may well scare her off.

Why not get back to your GAL planning? Sounds like some nice things were going on there...

Patience Edz - I think you have become discombobulated due to hope and expectations - and it is better to expect nothing and be neutral. That way you are pleasantly surprised when something nice does happen. Like RPP and the roses.
