So I finally confessed about my feelings and although he praised me for opening himself more to me, and telling me how much fun he has when he is with me, and all that... he wrote:
" That said, I must tell you that I cannot
reciprocate your feelings. I feel (think?) that you're
a good friend and a good dance partner. We have a lot of chemistry as a dance couple. We have a lot of fun together and our partnership takes some of the stress out of dancing for me.
I'm glad to have you in my life."
Thanks for everyone who helped me through and replied to my thread. I guess although "in vino veritas" may be true for most, it is probably nothing in this case.
