Sigh Phoenix, its a really tough call....
At this point I guess you can really only go by credentials and what you sense from him...
Its hard to judge just from one side.
Could you bring this very topic up w/your T? Say how DO I know if your the one for me? Maybe you could ask him about his general T 'style' more? and see if that works for you?
Does he appreciate feedback? I think this is huge if they do. My T loves it when I give feedback, even if it seems unkind about her, cuz then she is better able to do her job.
I dunno why T expects you to just spill? Took me a long time too. Years really. I still don't talk well face to face. Better with the written word am I.
So, I guess your just gonna have to keep trying unless there is some huge alarm bells going off for you gaianst him? But I would ask LOTSA questions , ANY that you have of him. Be bold and straighforward as possible. Thats the best way to tell.
I hope this can work out for you.
T hunting sucks.
