Hmmm, again your H foxes me. I'm glad that you were able to be honest with him. It sounds to me like he is still very confused. He obviously thinks about you a lot.
I know you are patient, I know you aren't planing to do anything till Jan so lets see what the New Year brings. Sorry not very constructive, but I think there has been change over the past month or so and it would be interesting to see where it leads.
