well, it looks like you have done the right thing, cat. i'm quite proud of you. that was brave of you to finally tell him what you were thinking. at least the topic has been broached. hopefully the conversation you two had will rattle around in his head and come up to the surface with a positive outcome.....
i do not envy your situation, but at the same time, i do. the torture of new love can be sweet as well as painful. sometimes simultaeneously. good luck. i hope he comes around for you. if you were feeling really brave, you could go with my original advice and show him this thread........ If he has any chivalry at all, he'll melt before your eyes as he reads it.
