It's funny, I keep hearing how lucky he must be,

Yes, I was noting that with a wry smile as well. A bit of transference was going on there, IMHO.
I "hear" that you are doing this for you, first. If, as we all hope, your guy likes the results, that's super. But I doubt if him thinking he is lucky is a likely response right away. But heck, maybe he'll get there!
There are a few of us in long term relationships where both partners are DL. It is lots of fun, and (I just gotta say it) we do tend to think we are "lucky".
And I cannot hear the work "lucky" in this context without remembering a female Wetset poster who was very involved in the kink scene (and quite thoughtful about it). She used to roar out of the woodwork and excorciate anyone who said they or another poster were "lucky" to have a DL love interest. She was always hammering home the point that working relationships are based on a lot more presonal effort than mere "luck". In some ways I think she was right, but I also think that who we end up with as a partner is in fact governed more by luck than anything else. Who you happen to meet, a place you chose to go, a chance turn in life: all those lead to who we end up sharing our lives with.
Anyway, have fun!
