[ calm down he won't hurt your boyfriend. ]

There are a few other ways of getting around it, so don't feel limited.

[ for example, having someone or something at the bottom to catch them, having someone at the top to pull them back, announcing his intentions/objective in public and finding a willing candidate... but he'll save that for last in order to avoid probing questions. ]

Leaving that aside... I assume you didn't just come here to ask me about my week.
