Definitely don't get too offended if he's not opening up to you as much as you like about work. That's just a very common male thing. YOu know, the whole cave thing. Men just generally don't like to deal with things by talking about them..they need their own space and time to figure things out..then they open up a bit. You've already seen this happen with what he's told you about the promotion situation.
Just be positive when he's like that, be so happy that he can't help but join in.
Always remember to look at all the great things that are going on in your sitch...and there are tons of great things going on.
A dream it's true
But I'd see it through
If I could be
Wasting my time with you
