You may be right, Gr3tta. I know negative emotions can be familiar and comfortable.
At any rate, the date is over and it seems to have gone ok. He called and talked a while, and you can tell how much more relaxed he is. What a relief! When he's stressed, I get stressed. I wish I could stop doing that.
