This sounds like a decent shift in your interactions with her. Experiment and monitor results. It sounds like it'll be important for her to see you as positive and friendly still, as you distance.
I appreciate your dilemma regarding dating and can see how it ties in to dropping the rope and giving W time to do her work. Spending time with a women should give you plenty of opportunities to keep your changes going. I find thoughts of S5 keeping me anchored in the sitch, with less chance of me drifting elsewhere. Does that work for you?
I'll be going to a wine-tasting with a MF in about a week, who will introduce me to two FFs. Should be fun. I think he's hoping it'll work out as a double-date, but I'm just looking forward to convo and some nice wine.
