Tomorrow's Challenge

So tomorrow night, I will try and cook dinner for my friend. For the most part, my best friend will actually cook the dinner because I may not be home in enough time to actually cook. I wanted to cook not only to do something nice for him, but also to learn a few things. If he doesn't like it I guess I won't get offended. My friend cooks preety good in my opinion and I never got sick from it, so everything should be okay. The thing that scares me the most is the conversation I have to discuss. I want to tell him that I am interested but I am so scared that he will reject me. One month before Hurricane Katrina, I told him that I was interested in him, but that was only because my sister told me I should try to be in a relationship. I really didn't want to be in a relationship with him considering I was still confused about another issue, but I thought maybe my sister was right. At that time, he said that he didn't want to be in a relationship and I accepted that with no problems. After the storm, he and I was so anxious to see each other and went so far as to express that we missed each other. From there, my feelings started to change because in that moment I felt something for him and I knew I wanted to see him again. Not to mention I panicked when I could not contact him the first week after the storm. I know he just got back to New Orleans, just started a new job, and now he is looking for his own place. I don't want him to feel like I am pressuring him, but at the same expense I think I need to let him know what I am thinking. I think he will ultimately say that he isn't ready for a relationship because all but one man that I have been interested in have rejected me. That's fine and all. Its not like I have never rejected anybody. Besides they had every right to choose not to date me. With this one its a little different because I am actually interested. I love his company, conversation, corny jokes, and he is the first man I have had sex with that I actually care about. All of the other men were just sex objects. The one thing I have avoided all my life has happened right before my eyes and that's having sex with someone and slowly becoming emotionally attached. What do I do if or when he says no to me?
