Same Sitch. New Approach. Motivated. Feeling Good.

Right. Thanks Kaizen. Perhaps "attempt" is a better word...or maybe still a little ambiguous?

I "attempt" number 12 every time the two of us are in each other's presence. She has never made a move to pull away, but sometimes the attempts fail simply because we're not close enough to each other at the time. Making an obvious effort to walk across the room just to rub her shoulder would seem forced.

13 is more of a weekly thing. Sometimes it's spontaneous like, "I'm going to go watch some tv in the living room if you'd like to join me." Other times I've invited her ahead of time to do something with me...to be courteous of her calendar).

So maybe:

12. I will attempt to make non-threatening physical contact with my W whenever we're together

13. I will invite my W to do fun things with me at least once/week and not react negatively if she says no
