you did really well taking that step of talking to your teacher and opening up. It takes a lot of guts to do that.

My only suggestion on what to do is that you could say that there are things you have to tell him, but that it is overwhelming at the moment and you want to take it slow. Then just say a little bit and see where it goes. Otherwise you could write down the 3 things you want him to do on a piece of paper and give it to him; don't say anything and let him respond. It might make it a little easier??? Best of luck.
