Confidence, you say?

So, it turns out I didn't ruin everything. Why do I worry so? Just Some Guy (aka Nigel) suggested in previous comments that I get some self-confidence, but we all know that's easier said than done.

Anyway, here's the update. I called Etch on Wednesday and we had a great, normal conversation. I mentioned that I was taking vacation in a couple of weeks and he said that we'll have to do something together. He told me to think of what I wanted to do. Later he was talking about his sister. He said that when she finishes this next round of chemo, he wants to have a get-together for her, and he'd like for me to come and meet her. He said, "I just want a few people there, only the people who are important to me." What's that strange feeling? Is that security? You mean there's an opposite to insecurity?

Then the even better part: He called me Saturday morning and asked if I'd like to see a movie! I was so excited. We saw Lady in the Water. It was so good to see him, and I made sure to let him know. There was lots of hand-holding and smooching, and lots of laughs, too. It was great!

So, last post I said he could try to do better or he could decide we'd stop seeing each other. Looks like he chose the former, and I'm glad! He likes me, I know he likes me. Everything is going to be fine. How's that for confidence?
