I wouldn't say anything about the R unless he brings it up first. It's pointless to say you're not talking about it when he doesn't want to talk about it anyway.
Don't feel bad about running things by us. I did the same when I was first communicating with BF. Better safe than sorry, right? The only downside is that sometimes you get antsy when no one is responding.
And on that note, I'll be gone until Tuesday. Have a great weekend!
(Oh, forgot to mention, I don't really like chocolate either. I like dark chocolate, but even then I like stuff with it like caramel. And in general I just prefer cake, brownies, cookies, pie, etc.)
