I dont think you have the right C. My sessions were similar- Allen made a point in another thread that a good C would encourage SP's to accept "trying"- I believ his example was can you build a house ( if you've never built one before)- in that case, "I'll try" is pretty valid and should be accepted as both honest and 'willing'.
I'm not qualified to judge but it doesn't really sound like C offered very much
