Karen,
Sorry to hear that the joint session was a bomb.
What gave you the impression that he has issues with women?

Oh and I didn't want to give the impression that I am some intiating dynamo. Far from it. I still find it very hard to blatantly initiate (grab him) but I am quite willing to do other, more subtle, things to get him in the mood such as draping my leg across his body at night or extending a hug until I feel some reaction from him, etc. The normal ways women initiate, lol!

However, I do have 'be blatant' down on my list of goals taped up to my desk and I will do that. Well it doesn't say that specifically cause I had to code them so he doesn't guess what I'm up to.
It shouldn't be too hard to pull something off, since our anniversary is next week (falls on Tday this year, unfortunately).

Good luck and by all means do not wait around for 3 weeks, reading body language. Has your H ever told you, Just initiate if you want something!!
Mine would say that all the time and it is mostly true.

Good luck,
Honey
