[Hmm, how to explain it... he zipped up and buttoned up again after fixing his jeans.]
So I was pretty terrified of rejection. Still gives me the willies. I mean, not because I hate 'no' or 'not yet', but... people would go outta their way not only to say no, but dig in the knife on how stupid it was for me to even suggest the thing they rejected.
