Hi morgan - been catching up on everyone's sitch and just read the past few of your thread. I think you may consider removing even a bit more emotion as your friend suggested. I know you probably want it very clear that you support his feelings but maybe just keep it really simple -- thank you for sharing your feelings and I am glad to know you don't hate me.
"It sounds like you are..." is a really good line I think.
"I wish I could be there" sound's little needy and you don’t want him to think you are needy. Remember this is about him (stupid lug that he is!) A
"And you are worth finding" -- kind of sounds clingy. God I hope I haven't insulted you with my feedback - please take it for what it is worth. And as a last thought - so what if you don’t reply to it until sometime later tomorrow afternoon and pretend you haven't had time to read it yet? Would that be a bad thing? He asks tonight just say oh I haven't had a chance to be online yet today or something - would that be wrong? I don't know
