That's a good point. I did not think about how maybe he is anxious about making a good impression as well. I spoke with him on the phone a few minutes ago, and our conversation lasted about an hour and flowed freely. So I think so far the communication is going well, and I did drop a hint that I get anxiety. I do not want to scare him off with my history of emotional problems though, so I try to just share a little bit and keep things upbeat.
