What characters in the poem "The Highwayman" made sacrifices other than the obvious of Bess?

Question

What about the guy who the narrator describes? I mean he embarrassed himself throughout the entire first half of the poem (AT LEAST) by thinking he could get with such a catch like Bess.

I don't see how embarrassment is such a sacrificial deed. I understand there is more to the word sacrifice other than "dying" but if he thought he could get her, then why not try? Nothing much to be embarrassed about. Unless I'm completely missing the point of your reply, which if I am, I apologize.
