Not sure how to proceed or just move on?

[SteveLW]

So here is the 2x4:

First:

Yes, my previous situation is a great example of how detachment and truly moving on does work. I used the DB principles to make that happen and it did work.

And then:

I held her hand (she didn't pull away or act offended like normally) and she looked at me and I asked her if she'd like to go out with me sometime.

huh? A nod to DB principles in one paragraph, and then severe pressure and pursuit in another?

Imagine if this is what would have happened:

hen she was leaving, I felt some type of vibe from her, can't really explain it. So instead of just saying goodbye like I probably should have, I went in for a hug (which, a week ago, would have backfired 100%). She hugged me as well and it felt like the first real hug in months. Then later that night sent me a text saying that she hopes I get better soon, I just responded thank you for taking me to get food and she said your welcome with a smiley face.

That would have been so much better at this point in your sitch. Likely she will retreat a bit now. Most WASs do when you exert pressure and pursuit.
