I think this has been the easiest (for me) of the dares so far. It seems that kindness invites kindness. While we are still distant with affection, the conversations seem to come easier for both of us. I've also adapted this for whenever I leave for errands or head out to work, a quick kiss on the forhead and a short (but true) I love you. It's hard to act warm and friendly when you're still hurting, but honestly sometimes just gritting your teeth and going forward helps ease into it.
Seems that you are one day ahead of me in this journey. I am glad that you are pushing forward on the dares. I too seem to get no reaction for most anything I do but I do it anyway. Guess that is the unconditional love they speak of.
Hang in there......
