Beside he's too busy for you. He still needs to find a job, fix his car, buy some smokes, have his panic attacks, and find time to stare at other girls. I'm already there, but my head tells me something different. I think I might have what it takes, but I'm scared to try. Not trying is to fail.
Courage means willing to fail.
Too many people sit around wondering, waiting, hoping, dreaming, but fail to take the risks necessary to make their dreams come true. The biggest tragedy is sitting on your potential for fear that you won't succeed. Another tragedy is sitting on something sharp. As for the courage, it comes from being comfortable and confident. Once you're comfortable with yourself you'll be able to find the courage to take risks because you won't be so hungry for others to validate you.
