I <3 Erik
Well, I have the same problem, and I selected Erik, I used the command and... nothing... I wondered if I did something wrong, because It said: command not found ó.o... Oh, if somebody can explain this please, do it.
First, be absolutely sure you selected Erik and not a stray wisp of dust or a butterfly or something floating between you and him. The ID should say "000656E2" if you've selected him correctly. Second, I don't think you need to have the quotation marks around the console command, but I'm also not sure what including them will do. I know some people have reported that this trick doesn't work at all

but it's not clear why. I had to console Erik to be marriageable myself, poor man.
