Will it make it easier on you

I think that is why this is such a long journey...it takes a long time to feel comfortable again.

Excellent point! Thanks Kris.

He definitely is hesitant around me, and vice versa. I think this has led to some confusion, and thus his comment about our dates being hit and miss - sometimes we are more comfortable and things go smoother, other times I think he perceives our time together as awkward.

I think I forgot to mention that when he invited me over he said he would have offered to drive to my place except he didn't know where I lived and he probably shouldn't drive. I laughed and said I'd be more than happy to give him directions, but that it wasn't a problem for me to drive over to see him.

Elaborating on the evening/morning, well, we definitely had a good morning. He seemed thoroughly happy to wake up next to me, as was I. And he can't even blame it on the champagne! Lol
