With me... If you try to go from waiting at the door to sitting on my bed while I put my shoes on without doing th work.. Well, that's going to get you being met at the movies and not being even invited to my house..

For me.. it's all about stages and respecting someone's space...

I've given out too much rep again, so I can't rep this to you privately (and I was going to say something anyway, soo....)....

I love this analogy. Thank you and Eve for it. The physical space may only be a few yards but for every yard someone would get closer to me, there is quite likely weeks or possibly months of familiarity behind it.
