Detaching and dropping the rope....simply to me, it means living your life for you. You don't worry about what the gas station attendant thinks of you, your outfit, what you are driving, or doing, so treat him like the gas station attendant.
You live your life for yourself. You dress nice so you feel better, you get into hobby's so you feel better, you start working out to boast your physical and mental well being. You don't do this for him to notice you, you do this so you notice you. So you become complete again with yourself. The side effect is it will get his attention. He'll wonder why you are so happy without him. Or he'll look at you and won't remember when you looked that good, etc etc etc.
Basically, go live your life and don't worry about what he's thinking of it.
