Good luck tomorrow, Hopeful. I think you outlined your plan very well... if something comes up that catches you off guard, excuse yourself for a bit to get it together and remember to be friendly, upbeat and show yourself to be the better person. I see good signs in your sitch as well... he did excuse himself to talk to you on the phone the other day, and sent a text to see what was new with you... small signs perhaps, but he's still interested what's going on with you. It's something to build on. Work on it from a friendship standpoint and who knows what might happen!
