Hi NOP,

I guess that it goes hand in hand. Being as early riser (up by 5), my mind is usually at its sharpest. I had a lightbulb moment this morning. I must not have been dreaming (visions of sugarplums) but processing all the information I've received here lately. Here's my waking thought/message.

"Nice guy's finish last".

Not in a mean or arrogant way, but that too much nice guy supplication and placating stuff is getting me nowhere fast... It's not confident nor attractive. It was a mantra that I had adopted many years ago after my first M fell apart. As I started to move forward and began to GAL. It worked for me then. It will work for me now.


NOP, you asked.

How did she get from the couch to the bed later that night?[




I'm not sure exactly, but it was probably along the lines of later in the evening after she'd fallen asleeep and I finished watching the program that was on. I tapped her on the shoulder, told her it was time to go to bed. Helping her up into a prone position, then kinda shuffeled off to our room, checking that doors were locked and lights were out. Blah, blah, blah....

You suggesting I should consider a different approach? Like leaving her there on the sofa? If so, I see your point.

Why didn't you just leave the room?




You know, after I thought about saying "I'm going to our room to have sex, with you or without you". I was just so frustrated. She had already closed her eyes again, so she wouldn't have seen my exit until later. So maybe the effect would be same as in my answer to the first question. Again, if so, I see your point.
