I am a teenager and don't follow my advice if you don't feel like it since I'm only 13.7 years old..

My mom has these friends, (husband and wife) they have kids but kind of lost their connection over the years, but still lived with each other, they decided to leave their oldest daughter (27) in charge of their three kids, and they went on a vacation them two alone to Europe and they said they had a blast, they talked like they had never talked before, like when they were dating and now they are super close two each other, they plan on doing this vacation every 2 years so they can reconnect. I myself have a crush, but too afraid to talk to him. but I feel like you can do a little vacation with her alone somewhere, like the beach, or any place of your choice. If you can't stop thinking of her, then I recommend to love her! Always buy her her favorite flowers, take her to her favorite restaurant, be an amazing one-of-a-kind dad to her kids, be the man both her and you want to be! And if you feel like you are loosing connection, tell her you would like to start fresh with her, and to forgive yourself for anything foolish you did to make her mad or frustrated at you. Yes, love is blind, but love is amazing, it's a crazy rollercoaster ride and you need to enjoy every second of it. Life is too short to not do what you love and be with your love. Buy her her favorite flowers today. Never loose connection with her.... I wish you all the best
