Dear Sarah:

Reads to me like he is a very supportive person. I think that he is presenting to you a unique opportunity to work through your anxiety. If you do take his offer, that he will help you in any way that he can, the two of you will get closer to each other, not farther apart. See him as a friend, a man wanting to benefit you, to operate for your well-being, not against it.

Once the two of you get to know you better, the two of you will find a more loving and lovable person (you) than you imagined, and so, he will have more to love.
