I think you had gotten off to a good start, actually. I liked the part about being pretty cute! But, you needed to drop it then. Of course he is scared, and so are you! The difference, in my mind, is that you have had time to think about this with a clear head, to think about what you want, and the path you think needs to be taken. He hasn't had this opportunity (or at least hasn't taken it, I suppose would be more correct). So, he is coming from behind. Leaving him alone while he is gone might give him an opportunity to catch up. He is just now starting to see what he is risking. It's stupid, but I don't think he saw it before. Give him a chance, BobbiJo, I really, really, don't think he wants to be done!
