Re Baltoman can definitely see why you may not want to put an MC session right before a time when you are trying to be all lovey and romantic. That is part of what I did not post. I doubt his gf was planing anything romantic. I bet Scott's gf was wanting Scott to be the romantic one while she sat there acting like a sponge, not a hot young thing (HYT).
Sorry folks, it's my attitude and experience. Trying to bring enough heat to the R for two people and getting shot down so often makes me think the more one person does, the less the other person is invested in the R until the well runs dry. Then the slow poke is willing to look for water by digging deeper at the old watering hole. Trouble is the fast poke has maybe moved on or is so dissapointed with the slow poke that the fast poke quits trying. With no one trying much, where does that lead the R?
To me it is a lot like living with lazy kids. The more you do as a parent, the less they do for themselves.
