Yeah, Rose really does need to be convinced that he's ok - otherwise, we'll have another guilt trip on our hands - Do Not Want!

And yes! They had to have the 'Rubbish' talk too - which the Doctor needed to hear before he ended up with a complex from thinking he was Bad In Bed. *grins*

Shy!Doctor is fun to write. I think it's a little more believable that he would be inexperienced. Rose will have fun with this.

Thanks for the well-wishes!
