Doing my thing & keeping a smile

[may22]

I think you did the right thing. Like Cardinal says, if it scared him off he wasn't ready. I think it possibly gave him a little dose of reality here... wow, she really isn't going to come... I have to go on my own... what will I tell my parents... I mean, I'd be spinning about it too if I were him. That doesn't mean it is your job to fix it for him and make him feel better in the moment by explaining or soothing or deciding you'll go anyway. Let him think on this.
