I pretty much agree with arachnophobia.kid...

You made it clear to him what you wanted. He said "No". Unless the leopard suddenly decides to change his spots, I'm afraid that "No" means "No". You can't make someone want something they don't want... You may be able to somehow convince him to go along with you, but if he doesn't like it, would you still be able to enjoy it? Probably not.

You have an important decision to make... You'll have to choose what's more important to you.
