“The options he has are exciting and scary, he wants to respect Deborra’s feelings and his feelings, and he also wants to respect the feelings of anyone he would get involved with.”
“Sure, he’s interested in dating, but he also wants to focus 100 percent on it and not half-ass it when it comes to it.”
