Thanks kboleski, Bitsy, and Angela. I know what you mean by the warm-up. I do try. It has gotten to the point now where
whatever I do is just "trying to get sex, again".
I used to bring her flowers on a friday every other month or so for just no reason. Until one time she verbally connected it with the sex that we would be having later that night. "Ohh flowers! Hmmm...I guess you want sex tonight, huh..." From happy to suspicious in 5.4 seconds.
She went out of her way to make certain we didn't have sex that night, because she wanted to show me that flowers don't equal sex. (an unspoken lesson, anyway...she didn't actually tell me that)
SO that whole thing turned me off of buying flowers. So I guess she was right. No sex, no flowers. I wasn't meaning it to be like that, but it just kinda turned into that. So now flowers have a bit of a stigma. Once we had sex on a thursday, and I brought the flowers on friday. She was like "gee thanks. I guess I know what I did right". I was like "I always bring flowers on friday!" and she was like "but this time it's different, right?"
I'm painting a pretty ugly picture here. It's not all bad like this. She's really a great girl and I love her for good reasons. I'm picking on our one weakness. It's just physical intamacy that's the problem.
Thanks again for your support. I'll check back in sometime.
