So what is the alternative? You see there really are only two options. Either you are pressuring and pursuing, (and this board is riddled with LBSs that ended up D due to that tactic), or to back-off and detach. You can follow the path and try the former, but the percentage of success is much higher with the latter.
Steve,
You’re right. As unnatural as it feels to me, I can see that pressuring and pursuing got me to the current state of affairs.
Given things as they are, I’d rather try something with a higher percentage of success.
I realize that in the end I could still end up D’ed (in the short- or long-term), but what comes across from her body language, lack of sexual interest, and what she’s said in the past is effectively ‘leave me alone.’ I don’t want D (or even S), but I also realize that, after a certain point, it’s not totally up to me.
