1. Criticism disguised as feedback.

Hard to want someone who makes you feel small.

1. One-sided effort.

When one person does all the work, resentment kills the mood.

1. Unresolved conflict.

Hard to be intimate when you're still angry.

1. Forgetting to flirt.

You flirted to win them. Why did you stop?

Desire isn't something that just stays alive. It needs tending.
