Quote: Pursuit in some cases, I think, can be good as long as it's in the form of loving courtship and non-pressuring.
Well, RB, I think you are right. It really does matter, at least to me anyway, HOW and WHY the action is taken. In this case, I was just doing what I felt without expectation of how it would result. That's something that whould have been VERY hard for me to do in the past. I almost never took risks like this. If I did something, I pretty much knew how it was going to be taken. Not this time. That said, there has been NO reaction from my W. She hasn't mentioned it at all except to say the rose was in her trunk (that I should get it out and put it in water). I don't know still whether she liked it or not. I suspect I never will. Suppose this kind of thing is still lost on her. Oh well, at least so far it wasn't a BAD thing, it's just not a thing at all. Tis ok though. It was something I felt like doing and no harm, no foul.
I will update if the story changes after the kids go down.
