If you don't get the significance of that first step over the fire (it doesn't burn) then you're missing something fundamental. in my most humble opinion. Something that has nothing to do with attraction.
I liked your fire story SG. And that's what I've been saying all along, the issue now is not really our SL or level of attraction to each other, it's the past hurts (on both our parts) - with his obviously being the horrid cherry on top of the cake. LFL
