Ignore the words on the screen from your H. Given the choice, he will choose to pick the one he views as "safe". Look at his actions instead. You have been getting text responses in almost record time. This is a big difference from what things were just a couple weeks ago. Remember it used to take a couple of days. What are you doing differently now, How do you feel differently now? Look at this. Even though the Facebook thing stings, look at how well you were able to get past it. You are getting a better grip on yourself...this will only come across as confident which is very attractive.
Take credit for your actions and baby steps...they are making a difference and they are baby steps. Try not to get too excited or impatient, this will only come off as clingy and desparate. Play it cool. Don't beat yourself up that he didn't respond to your text about his work (maybe it is not going well). The important thing is he asked about you! He showed an interest in you! Look at the actions.
Your planned text about the b-day gift and next weekend are very good in my opinion. You acknowledge but don't exalt his birthday which shows you care. You show GAL and confidence by telling him to bring his key, etc. I think these were well thought out.
