Strangely enough, things have been really good since I had that anxiety attack (not long after my last post in this thread, in fact).

I'd never had one before and it was confusing to both me and dan. He was great though - he sat there with me on the bed, stroked my legs and held my hand. It was so unlike him to be so gentle and caring in the face of an emotional display.

Since that time i feel like some kind of long-term wall fell down. I feel like I can trust him somehow, in a way I couldn't before. He says I am acting different, more pleasant...but it's because I feel he showed something inspiring, something I could respect in him. It's hard to explain. It's made a huge difference.
