So, I have finally fully committed to DB'ing. Her telling me are "better as friends" was the turning point. And to my surprise it is already producing some results. She was supposed to show up at my house tonight at 6 pm for our weekly get together. I really didn't expect her to show after our last conversation.
Sure enough, right on the dot at 6pm I get a text. "I can bring the dog on the way to my sister's bridal shower tomorrow evening. I have an appointment for the shower tonight." She blew me off...no surprise there. I dug around and found out there was no appointment and she hadn't lifted a finger to help with her sister's shower.
I waited 6 1/2 hours before I texted her this: "Damn! I completely forgot about that. I am glad you made other plans! Tomorrow doesn't work for me." Two minutes later she sends this: "Do you want me to bring him by to stay with the girls on the way to my parent's house in the morning or not?! I am going to bed now." I finally evoked some kind of emotion from her I thought. Acting like I have plans and I am moving on with my life, which I really do and will not be available tomorrow. I responded later, "No, tomorrow does not work for me. I will contact you early next week when I have a better idea of what my schedule is going to be." She responded immediately "Alright, sounds good."
I don't know what if any of that means anything but I feel committed to the purpose now. It felt good not to pursue and make her wonder for once.
