Dude, you are doing great! (Goooooooooo Tim....gotta get my cheering in). That sounds like you handled it perfectly and quite un-Timlike. The ring thing sounds promising but make sure you let her keep her reasons for wearing them. This is from left field and just something I am thinking, but if you try to acknowledge them, thank her, or anything like that she may take them off because it will then turn into something she's doing for you, therefore something she won't do anymore. You are doing the right thing. Don't try to figure out what's going on, just go with it. Be there when she wants you to, and retreat when she doesn't. Keep us updated and send me an email if you want.
