Thanks for the thoughts and reading recommendation.

I’m “open” to a relationship, like we say is the appropriate stance for a man around here. As in open to one with a good woman that works for me.

Right now she’s treating me fairly well. If I sense she’s losing attraction (declining sex, being ruder, etc) I’ll just kill it off. Or run off with another plate.

You didn't come here seeking permission or approval on your choices, only confirmation that they were the best for you to make. If what you've written is true, then the book will serve you well when our counsel is unavailable to you as well as be a useful starter for your future sons.

What you're doing has got this gal wanting you so bad she can probably taste it. Keep at it. If you've not outright sworn off marriage, you've nothing to lose by continuing to present similarly enthusiastic plates with challenges and opportunities where they can earn the potential realization of their relationship goal. Just don't forget to vet all your plates along the way.
