I have thought about what would I say when (notice, I say when )H asks to try.I would tell him I want to see where that road would take us.
If anything it would be new.
I say just be yourself. How would you treat a new friend?
If you desire to casually call him to see how he is doing , just do it. Don't expect anything(good or bad) and just be you. That is how everything flows.
It will be natural. Because we are doing what we want to.
THe conversations may not flow at first because it is on a different level.
I don't know..just my opinion.
Look today, you texted. Because you wanted to do it , you did it and it flowed!!!
