Hi Edz - glad to hear you're doing okay, and nice you get to have a swim with S. I read the statement below, and thought to myself - why does he continue with this pursuit?
"Offered we can all grab a bite afterwards if she's free no reply as yet I have no expectations of her saying yes to be honest, just always ask."
Don't ask, would be my advice. I think you are still presenting as "very much available" to your W. And I think it would be positive for your sitch if you left your W wondering a little more.
Why not try doing that for a week and monitor how that goes?
