As far as pinning her down, yeah, I tried that. Got beaned pretty good upside the head and the silent treatment for about a week to show for it, and I thought she was just saying no to be coy.
I spat my oatmeal when I read the "beaned in the head" part GGB. Sorry. It's not funny but it is a good place to reiterate the point about putting the cart before the horse. I just don't think the "throwdown" technique will work with LD people, men or women. It's not their "thing" and may never be. Again, you cannot change that no matter how much you try, only they can.
