I think that the two of them have been doing this for a really long time and it is more like sport. Yes they would love to find a lasting relationship but it's not likely to happen the way they are going about it.
My husband does so many romantic things for me it's absurd.
I feel an intense intimacy with those who have this loathing interest in me....
To walk around with an ego is a bad thing. To have confidence in yourself is a great thing.
