I believe it. I believe you. But I also know this day can cause a lot of undue pressure and stress, and I know you’re already worried about something going sideways. I have my worries about it, too. And I want to go with you, but I don’t want to put more pressure and stress on you or the date than I know you’re capable of on your own. Just know that we can have other dates. No matter how tonight goes, we can have another date. And another. And as many as we want, okay?
And you won’t be alone tonight. If we go, I’ll be there for you. You can hold my hand as much as you need, and I won’t leave you (and you can even hold my purse when I go to the bathroom to freshen up 😉). Whatever’s going on, I’m here.
