This is not a process of waiting around for the WS to come back. This is about becoming a person the WS would WANT to come back TO.
You cant beat the AP at their game; any effort to try is wasted.
This first sentence alone puts things in perspective for me and probably a lot of DBer's. We always feel in limbo or like we are playing the waiting game; we need to change our mindset and not put our lives on hold and become the person you know you can be by being present, validating when appropriate, and ending all pursuit. Thanks Azzork.
About your second sentence, I'm not sure I understand that one. I think I read on here that you can be the OM to the OM??? For me, that statement helps me because now I can change my mindset from my wife being my wife to just her being an attractive woman I'd love to flirt with and get to know better. She's my wife but she's "off limits" to me kind of thing...make sense?
