He must, if he wants to be snowed in with you.

Do be firm but kind. He may have spent a half hour composing that text with sweating, anticipatory paws!

If he isn't an axe murderer, and has nice qualities even if he's not the lad for you, perhaps, down the line, you can introduce him to someone who might be more suited to him? Who knows, he may have a friend with whom you might hit it off!
