Answer 1

How deep do you think you can get with her? Realize the reason behind this are just a bit deeper then your working, if you look deeper you could help, if not, your just stuck watching and looking like the concerned friend. The fact is, unless you can get her to FEEL, that its hopless AND accept that feeling, your screwed. Doing that thou, requires you finding out the deeper reason why she needs this to work. Love is one thing, but it inspires a lot of feelings, getting into those feelings and getting her to see and accept them, are your only route, anything less, is what your doing....

The key lies in her history, her story, not just with man, or woman, but the whole darn story, thru that you can show her, no bs..... been there, man done that, problem is your conflicting with HER purpose and thats like trying to destroy someones religion, this is serious business, even seriouser then life and death, this stuff, if their is a god (I believe, relax) would hurt a person for eternity. So time to get to know her....
