How about "facing your partner" instead of "looking at your partner"?
Then it's just an orientation. Who or what you look at is your own choice.
The girls will figure out pretty quickly to look at each other to start the
move, and skilled flirts will figure out other possibilities a split second
later.

What do the rest of you think?
I think you've made an excellent point, but the trick would be explaining
all that in a walk-through without losing 3/4 of the room. Can anyone
think of a really succinct way of teaching that?
I think all you need to do is not put strong emphasis on the looking
at your partner aspect. Something like: "dosido your neighbor. Now
dosido your neighbor again, but time do it while looking at your
partner." A simple "while looking at your partner" takes no stand on
whether one should stare at one's partner to the exclusion of everyone
else in the world, and I think no stand is needed.
