Really spot on!

Most if not all of my attractions have generally had this particular dynamic. Sometimes it's just at the beginning, and gradually warms to a genuine reciprocity, but sometimes it's been present for the entire duration.

Reminds me of a line from Oscar Wilde: "The very essence of romance is uncertainty"
