Just had a rough patch with the kids (D4 teasing D2 relentlessly and I freaked out after hearing D2 shriek for the millionth time today) then right after I put them to bed and went hoarse from hollering, H calls. Made the mistake of asking how my day was.
So there goes my "act cheery and funny and draw him in" for today. He is now so repelled that I doubt he calls or writes again. I don't really care, tho, everyone has bad days right. I'll just pick it up tomorrow and hope for the best. The bad thing about this type of man is that he is probably now thinking, I knew it was too good to last.
As far as pursuing him goes, yeah, I know what you mean. Very subtle. This being cheery and funny on email seems to be the ticket for me. Prior to this, I was like you--I could only get or keep his attention if I was peeved off. As soon as I was back to being happy and satisfied he felt he was 'off the hook'.
Keep lookin. There has to be something that he responds to.
You know, this is a thorny subject...but what do you think OW did for him to make him respond? Did she call him? Compliment him? What was his weakness in regards to her?
Not that you should emulate her, don't get me wrong. But there has to be a chink in the guy's armor and I know you can find it. You are a smart chickadee and relentless too.
