Ah, yes. Thank you for that. George is describing a courtship. Never does he say there was no romantic chemistry. He states that there was nothing romantic and that he was very clear about that from the beginning. That is a courtship. It's uncommon, but still happens in conservative circles these days.

According to your own logic in the above, you've lied about this one thing and we should all now dismiss your argument as well as you.

Instead, I simply encourage you to quote accurately instead of attempting to paraphrase.
