I love Jewell, although I do feel a bit dorkey liking her. My song to my H is "You Were Meant for Me." Before we got together, I thought of him whenever I heard that song. Come on, they are perfect songs to listen to when you are down in a R. "Don't," "Foolish Games," and "Near You Always." Perfect to bring down your PMA.

Good stop on the "talking too much." Perhaps next time, you should just stop talking, trail off. Leave her to wonder. Then say, I'd rather not share with you. Do you think this will cause her to distance? If so, tell me to shut up.

The reason I say this is that when you explain you are opening too much, she realizes it is because of constraints she has put on you, and she has control. Another way of you pursuing her, and she will see it as that. If she hadn't told you it made her uncomfortable, you wouldn't be doing it. I'm just afraid, dear Renew, that you may become too wishy washy and not remain masculine enough for DW. There's a point of doing nice things for another you care about, and then there's the point of doing everything for her because you are her slave and have no self esteem. I don't think you come off like this, I am just naming the two extremes and saying that you should make sure you are in a happy medium. Not too weak, not too strong and untouchable.

I think the pursuit is different for men and women. In my sitch, H did the pursuing in the beginning. He likes the pursuit. I am trying to come up with ways for him to pursue me. In your sitch, W already knows you want her. You've made that abundantely clear. You did pursue her once already. I am not saying let go. (One of my requirements for my man is that he would fight for me. I will not consider being with a man who would not.) But I don't think you have to worry about pursuing her the way you used to in the beginning of your R. Instead, let it happen naturally.

AND, occasionally she looks right at me while she is singing the lyrics--of what are mostly love ssongs!


VERY nice. I think I see a lot of your W coming around to you subconsciously. She doesn't come right out and say she loves you and wants you in her life, but she is reluctant to let you go (living there still and hanging around with you) and she slips up (perhaps unconscious slip ups) occasionally and full on comes on to you. I would count this as a babystep.

Great news, Renew, I am happy for you. Smile.
