We lay it on thick. The more romantic it is, the better.
We have such a great connection on every level — there’s such an energy between us.
If you want to date all these women go ahead, but just so we're clear it's not for me.
Okay, lets give it go.
But don't think that you're going to be the next Mrs Stewart. I don't want to get married and I don't want anymore babies.
