and that if I could show her that she could be happy with me, there might be a chance for a romantic relationship.
IMO, the WW is wanting a man to "make" her happy. Maybe it's part of the fairy tale little girls use to hear.
Here's the thing, the burden to make her happy should not be placed on you. That's not your job. It's up to her to be happy.
As a WW, she's really not in the position to be telling you that if you can prove that you can make her happy, then........
You see, to her it's all about her feelings. You do not want to become a puppet dancing around trying to make her happy.

She's pursuing me. I stuck to my guns, didn't offer any hope or loving validation, was manly and didn't take the bait.
Good!

If she is attracted to those changes and falls for me, then maybe I'll consider allowing her to walk down the long road to R with me. Maybe not. But I'm not rushing into anything, nor taking that broken M back. She will have to break down and work with me. I don't have to show her anything. She will see my actions, because they come from truth, and are not for her, but me.
Wow! Keep that determination and confidence going.
It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
