QUESTION 1
Lonehawk, 

Recently got turned onto your manual.  Genius stuff.  Seriously.  Question though, does this concept work on any woman, or just on meeting new women?  There's a girl in my life that we've both been really back and forth with, coming so close to being together, but always staying apart.  We've had sex, but we're not together.  And it took me a while to realize that I want to be with her, in a real relationship, so when I confess this to her, she responds, "I've wanted this for 5 months, but realized it was never going to happen.  I talked myself out of it.  I'm being stubborn yes, because it would be easy to let go and love you, but I feel like I'm being stubborn for the right reasons," in essence.  Can these techniques still apply to her, even though I've known her and been friends with her, and all for a few years? 

Lay it on me.
