Professor Gas, or do you prefer Doctor Rarified Gas?
That's Herr Doktor Professor Dusty Gas to you!!!

she is incredibly withdrawn, because of pain.
Man that hurts me to hear, but you are probably right.

I do some of the more outlandish type things you describe, i.e. talk up myself, tell her I'm coming after her, etc. Maybe I'm just not convincing enough.

You will get better and better when you see it works and have a 'A-HA!' moment.
She hasn't been quite so distant lately. Still need binoculars to see her though. I just gotta keep my confidence up and keep trying to maintain my cool.

You cannot see her advances, her attempts if you always make them.
I just hate waiting for them, and waiting and waiting. But I see your point.

Everyone here has made a comment that they had to drop the rope to make progress
I'm getting it a little bit more each day and each post from you guys. Its just such a hard rope to drop. Daily compliments have been such an integral part of my communication to her for so many years.

They may groom a lot, but the are persnickity and smell funny. LOL
And they like to bring weird things home to eat, like fried catfish or pumpkin ravioli.

make a fool of yourself then, and be confidant about it. Its much more effective
Funny how easily I do that at work, but yet get so worked up about looking foolish at home.

She loved it, hence the fishing
Hmmm. Fishing = loving it. Processing.

Remember when you detached and were working alot, 10 11 months ago?, tending to other things, the balance shifted.
The problem was that there was no affection/sex then either, except for that one week.

"Actually I said believe it, deep down in yourself to get you thru the rough patches."
OK. Processing.

"I wish this was important to Globule.?.? What do you think?"
I have let her take the lead on decisions about the kids. I'm just always so unsure of myself around them. I know, I know, weak. Gotta show strength to be attractive.

Thanks for the advice. I'll post some more encounters/convos as they happen. The interesting ones anyway.
