He's qualified.
It's more an idea I'm musing with... I'd be too scared to risk a very good friendship I think. I like talking to him and getting his advice, I'd just be worried to ruin what we already have. It's nothing I'm too serious with going ahead with- things would be better with him remaining a close friend I could turn to when I need a shoulder/advice. Just wanted to see what everyone thought.
And so the hunt for a new T continues.
