Just go with the flow. Hope is good, it keeps you going in the dark woods, but don't let him see the hope. Just be yourself and don't expect anything from him.
Remember back to the first times you dated, before you had history or were thinking about plans for the future. When you were going out just because you enjoyed his company.
"I made the wall of shadow draw back, beyond desire and act, I walked on.
Oh flesh, my own flesh, woman whom I loved and lost, I summon you in the moist hour, I raise my song to you."
