Well done, mahhhty.

I use exclamation points myself under certain circumstances, but not as I'd be trying to regain respect and love from my XW. It's a Nice Guy kind of thing, it's cool with friends, it's nice in an actual R, but it's not attractive. It's a form of pursuing, on the receiving end. It means "I want you to be sure I'm trying to be nice to you, to cheer you up, that I'm in a good mood don't worry". It doesn't say "I'm moving on" or "I'm not at the mercy of your reaction", which is the message you need to be sending her. Especially in your case, you have so much pursuit from which to back up.

Mahhhty, I think I get you (and I really like you, that's why I'm here). You've always been nice and that's how you relate to people, including love interests. I'm the same. But like Starsky309 did before, I'm learning to control my inner puppy. It's good to feel like my preferences (no other reason) matter and I do realize that it's more interesting and attractive for friends and women alike.

Regarding her overlooking your pending questions: it's called procrastination. I do the same with WW. I take my time to respond not because I'm playing hard to get, but because it's unpleasant to deal with. I procrastinated on my taxes as well (done!), on some work, on cleaning my office, etc. It's human nature and it's not about you.
