Been a quite bystander until now. Requiem take some action now. Leave BT6LW behind. You have had the guts to come out and speak to a group of strangers about it and received some very usefull advice.
You are already feeling the effects of postponing this "date" and it seems to be ripping you apart. The sooner you act on your feelings the better for you both.
Already been there, done that and had my heart ripped into little shreds. At least I know how she felt at the time and have been able to pick up the pieces and move on. In my case the friendship didn't last, I believe in yours it will.
Time for me to climb off of my soap box...
Best 1st post ever.
Also, Cerebus has an awesome wife ... so take the man's advice.
Besides, I need your thread to have a happy ending before I can start mine ...
