Thats the way it should be...does not mean that it has to be....from a relationship perspective
That meaning is not from relationship perspective. This is what is. The other bit is just explanation of the connection.
: : The OED also uses the version associated with what we may call rude courtship, which became literary with Dorothy Parker:
: : "b. colloq. (orig. U.S.). An amorous or sexual advance. Also fig. Chiefly in to make a pass at.
: : 1925 D. PARKER in World (N.Y.) 16 Aug. 3E/1 News Item... Men seldom make passes At girls who wear glasses...."
: : I think I see the connections that made this use possible, once you accept that a lunge and an effort have been encompassed by this word for a long time.
