for the most part, Waywards and Walk-aways think that at some point they will be friends with their exes... that's what they want... they don't really want things to end badly... part of the DBing method is to say that there will be no friendship... and so things get acrimonious... however, once time passes, and both parties have moved on, there seems to be a chance that a friendship can develop... and i think that is what you have here... you ex-W wants to smooth things over with you... that whole manhood talk is her keeping you "content." it's like a place-holder... i do not think she is interested in a purely sexual relationship... she wants you as a friend, and she certainly does not want to hurt you again... it's all a balancing act on her part... i know this part well... i have done it... move on, and she may come to realize that she does want more with you... at that point, you may be over it... but it won't get there until you really do move on...
