I swear I have no idea how to assure him. I will say that the girlfriend stuff DEFINITELY worked. Cheryl knows what she's talking about. The only way I can think to show him is to just do it - as in don't bring it up, continue to be my happy self I've become again, etc.
I will admit that romancing hiim did cross my mind. After I realized I should have initiated last night when I thought about it and now that I probably won't get any for a while LOL. I'm not sure romancing is the right thing to do. How could romancing him assure him? Granted I haven't done any real romancing in a long time, so he'd probably keel over from surprise. LOL
