I was just reading some of your stories and I used some of the strategies in Plan A and they seemed to work. She has decided to come have dinner with me tonight. What do I do next?

well mate

dont get too expectant over this ..... remain calm.

Not knowing all your story here I'd advise you just try to keep meeting her EN's, dont bring up the affair UNLESS she wants to discuss.

You may find she wants to do one of the "I love you but not that way thing" and "I want to remain friends blah blah blah".. its just fog talk so dont get sucked into her turmoil, but do present as listening to her, not necessarily agreeing with her but obviously listening.

so just be ready to hear this sort of thing.

It may not happen and if not just meet the EN's where you can, be open, not needy that drives them away, play it by ear but be mindful to steer clear of love busting.

If you give a bit more detail the experienced posters can help you out more
