FWIW, I still don't like Karate man. And, I think your fascination with him is somehow more all about you and issues from your XM than about him. Deep inside, what do you think will it mean about you if you "win" him?
But, that's not why I write.
Question: How many Mitch's does it take to change Althea's lightbulbs?
Answer: NONE
DO NOT ASK MITCH TO CHANGE YOUR LIGHTBULBS. Mitch is not your husband or your caretaker or your landlord, nor does he want to be, nor is he obligated to be. It is both an inappropriate and unhealthy request. He is someone else's mate now. Work this out yourself. Climb a ladder yourself, ask a neighbor, ask the UPS guy, ask Karate Man, beg flaky artist to help, I don't care. But please, do NOT ask Mitch.
