No, you didn't start soon enough. Just like the rest of us. DB'ing should start the millisecond after BD. I have a few friends that DB'd naturally, it was instinct to them just like begging and pleading and negotiating is instinct for the rest of us. Their recons happened faster, I'm convinced that's why.

I just want to play the best hand I can in the meantime
You do? OK then try this:
1. Quit posting here for 2 days. 2. Go out and do 2 GAL activities that you've never tried before.
Hint- GAL DOES NOT involve W, asking about W, asking for advice about W, telling someone what W did/ said and asking what it means, telling someone what you are going to do next and asking how W will interpret that, doing something and asking if it's good DB'ing and how soon W will respond to it, describing something that W did not do and asking what it means, talking about whether W is friendzoning you, etc. etc. etc. etc. etc.
STOP TALKING ABOUT W!!!!!!! STOP IT!!!!!!! Get out. GAL. Enough with the "I live so far from anything" excuses, and the "oh I'm too busy farming" junk. I come here every few days and there are TEN PAGES of new posts in your thread in that time. If you've got that kind of time on your hands then you can surely carve some time out of this place and go GAL.
Why do I keep harping on this? Because when you get out and GAL you will QUIT THINKING about W. You will REFOCUS onto your own life, which is critical for your recovery.
Right now you are fooling yourself into thinking you're progressing. You're not, you're stuck in the exact same repeating pattern that I've posted about before. Break free, YOU have the power to do so.
