I am also eager to hear what Sandi has to say.

But the way I see it, is you ARE dating her again. You are pretty much back to where you were before the A. So, if you don't do things differently, you'll be here forever. And quite frankly, that is probably why she sees everything as "ok" or working on the M because you are getting back to exactly where you were before the A. Her commitment feels strong because you are exactly where you were for many many years. See what I am saying?

And if you do this date, there is no getting laid on the big first date. Perhaps a kiss. NO pressure for sex. But I think you need to take your W out on a real date, not to your local watering hole every weekend like you would with your buddies. Yes, you both may enjoy it, but you enjoy it in the friend zone.

Maybe my idea was to extreme for now, but something has to be done differently, as if she was a new woman you were dating.
