Yes, there is a
problem here and you have already identify it. The fire that burns
with greater intensity, dies quicker than the one who ignite
gradually.
Then again, have you ever thought that she has already
failed you regardless of the things you do? She being on
the receiving end, receives. You are already judged, yet she kept
silent about the issue because of the 'goodies' that is coming
forth. There are woman, using the art of seduction, to live a life
of Goddess, where man worship them below. Like a Goddess,
regardless of distance, she is always above them and they could
never reach her. 
Attempt a final shot and pop the question. When I said final - you
know what I mean, if you do not get the result you wanted. One must
recongise the line because simply, life is to short to be
worshipping all the time - we have the use that time to seek for
our own sweet dreams and become God/Goddess with the one who truely
love and end up with.
Cheers
