Question Advice needed, how to change sponsors

I have a sponsor, I thought he was a good fit... same general field of work, has 8 years sobriety, once, an obviously active member of my home group. Not as much lately... I asked him within a month of starting AA after rehab...

I am 6 months out of rehab... I still very much like my home group. There is a fellow there that I speak to alot in the "20/20" club. While very different, we mesh well and I have been able to discuss issues surrounding my sobriety, steps, etc... very easily. He asked me if I had a sponsor last week. He has, I think, 7 years sobriety.

I want to switch... my current sponsor, sort of, kind of, puts me off when I want to set up some 4th step work... If I were more assertive, maybe... I don't know.

Jeez, Am I worrying too much, I mean it's not like we are engaged or something. I guess I am just looking for a kick in the pants and start to make a change....

So, kick away!
