You guys could try a temporary tattoo for awhile to see if you like it. Just a thought. Personally I can't do it. I have several girlfriends who have them but I can't think of anything I would want on my sagging body when I'm 80. If I ever come up with something I would be tempted.
You're spot on with the advice to Sam to do something by yourself. I've had all kinds of adventures lately by going out by myself.
If you love somebody, set them free. http://tinyurl.com/2empx2g
