Guilelessness is the word.

...Fear has caged him and jailed he’ll hide from the proposal he knows she deserves. He leaves the ring in his bag and the thought of her being his wife in his heart. Not only is he requesting that she settle, never receiving all of him and his unconditional love. But he is also allowing himself to settle hiding from his truth and his freedom. The kind of truth and freedom that only comes when one is lost in love...
