Maybe he likes you a lot as a friend/climbing partner and doesn't want to fuck it up. You're just focusing on him because he's there to focus on; there are plenty of guys who would rail you raw and with much less effort on your part. Mister Manners You were right! I need a nap now... I'll have to read today's post to see if more info was forth coming... No way! A lady never tells! What since when? Your post sure is does a lot of alluding though. 
From my vantage point I saw allot in her post...

It makes me strong though, so I can deal with it. Not strong enough to send .10b apparently. * tears* I'm with ya on this one brutha...10b is actually my onsite highest grade on lead. I just did it during this last trip, but alas, it was at Rumney and that means it not only was bolts, but also soft.  Woo!! But yeah, bolts = 1/2 credit. The whole .10b thing comes from my last trip to the NRG when I totally got spanked by Burning Calves. I hung, took a baby fall and then hung again. It's kind of a running joke now because I was talkin shit about how I was gonna crush before I got on it. I did feel a little better after Chossmonkey and GG came by and said something about J_ung calling it a sandbag though. Either way, it was certainly one of the best finger cracks Ive been on.I need some redemption on that shit too. Maybe we can get on it when you're down. You could onsight and solidify the grade! I'm pretty excited to see you crush that shit now. Gonna be shweeeeet! yeah um...I'm not going to hold my breath. 3 hang? gear or bolts? Skim slower! Alternately, see bold^^ 7, maybe 8, hangs I can never hang more than 3 times. If I can't get it on my fourth try I will never get it and will leave it for another day.
Depends on the scenario for me. If it's my gear and no else is going up afterward...then I'll hang as much as I want.
TR? I'll come down after trying the move a few times. Same if someone else is going to give it a go afterward.

I just like the cold! You're missing out dude. So I've been told. I can climb rock year round down my way so I've no need, really. I live closer to ice now. It feels very deja vu to say I still have no interest. I heard a great quote about ice climbing recently and can't quite remember it... something to the effect that it's a shitty way to train for real climbing.
this is a very true quote that you're paraphrasing.

Not strong enough to send .10b apparently. I got on some spurt this weekend. I thought hangdogging 12 trad on TR would have kept the guns in better shape. Think again! I made a mockery of a climb I thought would go easily. Then, in true sporto style, I sent that climb with the pre-hung draws. It was an old project from when I used to live around here years ago, so it was nice to finally dispatch it. Typically, it went when I finally wised up and realized, "oh, yeah, you just have to keep moving on sport climbs." Then, I made the slowest onsight of a really quality 5.10 trad route. I think my lead head is shit right now, onsighting is a very painful process. I really need to start committing more, is the lesson. I keep hanging around thinking through shit, making routes a couple of grades harder.
over the years I've found that the only thing that helps me to climb stronger is to get the route clean, or to climb until physical failure (not technical crux failure). odd, but that's all that seems to work for me.
