Hi Martian,
Thanks again for taking the time to write such a thoughtful response.
Again, alot of what you're saying resonates with me; it makes alot of sense to do it that way.
The slower, but still-there but not in-her-face method you suggest is definitely something I'm going to run with; it is very different from Mantus' approach but I think it is the right one in this situation given the girl, and me.
I think alot of what Mantus suggests works on girls who are "well-established" and experienced, but for this girl, she's innocent and kind-hearted, and I don't think she's conciously or subconciously looking for an 'emotional tampon.' Don't get me wrong, I think this sort of stuff happens alot, but I don't think it is the case for this girl.
I like the coffee+rose idea, that is very well thought out; does it scare you guys that this is waay too romantic for me; ie I've never brought flowers to a girl, let alone on a *study* date...
The air vs space thing also makes sense. Wow, with this one fuck-up I made I'm learning alot, especially with your help!!
I have an update, which I will post below after I respond to Mantus.
Thanks again,
Best,
Match
