I'm trying to better understand how this all impacts my W and how she feels about herself
This is what we call a cheese-less tunnel.
You can not understand what doesn’t make sense.
If someone told you 1 + 1 = 3, would you spend hours/days/weeks trying to understand how they came to that conclusion or how they feel about it?
Trying to understand the motivations of a WAS/WS (which normally comes with the hidden agenda of then wanting to insert some sort of reasoning or persuasion to them) is a monumental waste of time.
The cold, hard reality is that they have to feel the pain themselves and then decide they want to change their trajectory.
Who gives a stuff what she thinks about the exchanges yesterday!
Please talk to R2C about attractiveness, flirting and humour. You’re more likely to have success by being attractive and moving away from her.
For example, if she again tells you how her friend said there’s lot of single women after you, respond thus: “Great! Did she say any names? I’ll get a pen, I need to write down some numbers!😜” And then leave.
