I know how painful it is to make assertive attempts at ML and be rejected.
When the opposite gender spouse is not 'filling there role' often times the role is tried to be filled by the wrong spouse, in a effort to demonstrate what they would like to receive.
It messes up the dynamic, and is usually-- always? from the looks of things around here, met with resisitance.
LD's actually require much more assertiveness, and ability to lead then HDW. If you do the steps correctly they are also much more likely to follow along.
You just smile at HDW's and they run for the bedroom. LOL.
Nop's suggestion is good because of its persistance, strength and not allowing the mans needs to be lowered. It is without question leading and assertive.
My suggestion is going for the attraction centers in a woman. Snooks W comments about the chicken skin being 'HARD' was her engaging him back in playful sexual innuendo banter. She is warming up, while trying to accuse him of being predictable to his whopper comment. Its adult verbal play. Women can snap into this at the drop of a pin. It amazes me. While not real time the verbal play that ensued yesterday with Stig, Corrie, et al, is a perfect example of this.
Hence my not to much concern with her 'LDness', or being offput by the joking aggresiveness. If she is, So what. Hes haveing some fun. She cant reject him, only miss out on a opportunity. Her loss.
being non reactive is very attractive. Very.
We have roles to play, positions to fill, sexual equations to balance out. Not following the code results in jibberish.
