Actually, he wasn't reluctant . He had a uniform made and went to Congress in June of 1776. He told them he was the only one with war experience and they needed him. He cited his French and Indian war experiences as a British officer. The Congress accepted what he offered, but also warned him if he failed he would not be treated nicely by history.
