I hear what you're saying. I'm guessing you choose one approach and give it sufficient time to work or not work, then you shift to another approach to get better results. It sounds like the picnicking approach isn't yielding results so it's soon time to shift to the alpha male one, but my concern would be whether it's premature to shift approaches. If there's no other woman on the horizon you could theoretically give it a little more time, like a few weeks or months, but if that doesn't work for you then the alpha male approach could give you faster results. It's tough figuring out how to navigate these situations because you don't want to make a mistake that could end the reconciliation process by accident.
