I see your points HP. I think I was projecting some of my own feelings onto the situation. I know how painful it is to make assertive attempts at ML and be rejected. Would just hate for Snook (or anyone else to feel like that too). But you are right, at least it is attractive and strong, rather than weak and placating. The rejection hurts, but the avoidance is often much more damaging. And I liked the part about questioning themselves. "Maybe they are just being loving and sensual and I am being resistent." Questioning their actions/responses. Let's hope anyways
