Sounds quite promising to me too. He is sending mixed messages tho when he goes from talking "we" to "friends." You might want to address that -- the first thing you want to make sure that you have is an OPEN LINE of communication. That's going to be very important in this relationship. You may (or may not) have had this in prior relationships, so you've got to make sure you have it in THIS one. So keep everything open, and if you have any fears or unanswered questions, ASK them.
Other than that, it looks pretty good! Keep talking! Hugs, Lee
