Jo,

You didn't louse anything up. I think it was the right move to take your hand away. Keep him on the hook. Keep him wanting more. He'll be around more often. Just don't give in to anything to easily. He'll probably enjoy the challenge. Before you know it he'll be wrapped around your little finger.

And NO, it's not the charm that's working. It's your charm.


In the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years.
Abraham Lincoln

It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed.
Theodore Roosevelt
