I think of one thing here. Yeah I can see your concern about not "trying" hard enough. But if you really did try for awhile like your previous post said then honestly its best to suddenly stop and stay stopped until the other person makes it very clear they are interested in recon. Drifting and flickering out is not the statement you need to make. That is allowing someone to slowly get over you. Yes the last time you had dinner a great idea would have been to not contact anymore until she asks for your time. Any other contact besides going on a date is the friend zone.
Well done, I know its hard not to want to say thank you for the cupcakes (thats your NGS messing with you) But by not responding you are telling her "Damn, maybe he is over me, maybe he doesnt care, maybe I pushed him too far this time" You want that mystery in her mind. Like a coach says online "women are scientifically attracted more to men who's feelings are unclear.
I can absolutely garuntee she will expect a reaction. Don't give her that pleasure, its 100% a temp check.
T:11 M:10 K: D5, S7 BD: 9/1/20 WW continues to break up and recon with OM. I paid last fees and pushed the D 5/3/2021 Default Dissolution granted 8/5/21. Glad my D was not busted.
