I think the key is to leave situations like this time to cool off, then reinitiate attraction whilst actually possessing a new, higher value e.g. like mystery says in the MM, getting a new, better condo, car and then maybe introducing a jealousy plotline somehow. Now she could have had me but now she cant, she will want something, the HB should could come back

this seems like my best plan of action. What do you think? The question now is how. How do you successfully reintitate contact in such circumstances without the "awkwardness" in these type of situations? I think this is now key to what im asking!
