Old thread above. If you really have some time to kill, you can trace back all 20 threads so far!

So, I went away last weekend and saw some old friends. First time I'd seen them since BD. Obviously, you get a lot of conflicting advice. One or two things keep cropping up though - the planting of the seed that I'm not 'available' anymore. A number of people have told me I should maybe 'date' a couple of times and that'll get her running back. My friends don't know I'm doing BD, so maybe that's to be expected, but I just wonder what other, more seasoned observers think?

I don't want to date, but should I tell some 'white lies' to maybe get this stuck position, unstuck?

Since I came back, W brought the kids over Tuesday and is always more reserved when SD is here. She tends to be more aggressive and cold. I don't get it at all. Then, out of the blue tonight, she calls to talk to me about the kids being off school and if I can have them additional days, as she has hairdressing clients to book in, as on the second week, she's off to visit her parents. Reasonable conversation I hear you say, but she's bringing the kids over in less than 24 hours, so surely it could wait until then? I'm confused. Again, W was incredibly nice on the phone, but my BD mind tells me this is probably crumbs.

I know it's a marathon etc., but I feel like I'm running several, all at once! Autumn is here now in the UK, and this week, the weather has turned distinctly cold and windy. I had hoped to not be in this situation so long, and I'll admit dear readers, I'm tired and can't think of ways, that haven't already been suggested to me, to jog things on a bit.
