Hi Ian,
Is she some kind of a price that you want to win? Does she have a lot of value that you want to gain by being with her?
You may be perhaps putting her on a pedestal, as she has high price in your eyes... She has high value for you, which also means that you are lowering your own value in the whole relationship equation...
But as you may (or should) know, placing women on a pedestal doesn't work. Women don't want to be on a pedestal, every man who puts women on a pedestal is perceived as weak man.... Women despise weak men, they don't respect them, they dont like them... You should also know that women are looking for high value man, meaning that she should be Low value in your eyes... You should be the price to win, not her...
The only way you can "win" her is to increase your value in her eyes. Women compare different men to each other, and they usually decide for higher value man, especially if the value difference is big...
It's pretty much the same like any other market, if somebody offers you beat up and used Honda for 20K or fully loaded new Mercedes for 23K, most will go for the Mercedes without much hesitation...
So how to increase your Value? On multiple levels (described here many times), for instance having options with different women, being social, having good fundamentals, working on masculinity, leading, not being needy and so forth...
