You may be right about that. The Lovers is often about making a hard choice in order to have that "soulmate" connection. Rx would indicate the person's refusal to make that hard choice. So, for example, a married man may try to have the other woman, yet not get divorced. Or a player, as we're conjecturing here, may want to have all that a relationship would bring (devoted girlfriend, sex, etc.), yet not do any of the hard work on his part to earn that.
This refusal to make a choice would include a refusal to give up the thing they want. That is always the other choice of the Lovers. A person can decide that they can't give into "love" and follow their soul in this. That they must reject what is attracting them. This person clearly doesn't want to reject what is attracting them...but doesn't want to do what is required to have it, either.
This, by the way, is how the Lovers relates to the Devil. In the Lovers (upright), you CAN reject what is attracting you if you feel it would do too much damage. But in the Devil, you feel like you can't refuse what is attracting you. You feel (wrongly) that you are enslaved to it, and you may not even care what damage you are doing. Lovers rx is NOT the Devil, however, as the person isn't feeling enslaved. Rather, it is, rather, a kind of laziness or, as said, mind-game of "how to I have want I want without paying for it?" I would say that is the "intent" here. "How can I have what I want without paying for it?" This person may think they can hound the other person into submitting. But they're fooling themselves. They won't ever get what they really want unless they "pay" for it.
