Hurrah! He said yes, both because he wants to make me happy and it's something he'd like to try now that he's thought about it. We're going to hash out the details over the weekend. I'm so excited!

I only worry about how my close (all online) friends would react if I told them -- they're all older and protective of me, and don't really like him, and will probably think he brainwashed me into it so he could abuse me or some such. It feels weird to think I'd have to keep it all a complete secret, or outright lie since they like to keep close tabs on my relationship (probably hoping I'll dump him and date this other guy who likes me and is the darling of the group.) Who knows what to do.

Sorry I'm babbling; I'm just so happy!
