Oh.... She’s good.

She wants some family time. All the benefits of being a family, but she doesn’t want to be a wife. Which is fine as long you don’t want her as a wife and you know it’s nothing more than family time.

But this is where she is real Smooth: let’s make it like old times. I’m going to give you a little kiss and let you touch me. Sleep next to me, etc. I’m going to breadcrumb you just enough that you will have this ounce of hope that will allow me to eat all the cake I want..... then when you begin to think it could be more, I’m going to tell you we are still friends.

Then maybe you’ll back off. Then she will give you just a little more because she still wants her cake. A hug. A compliment. Bring up an old memory .... back in the hook you are.....

Think about it
