Don't know if it will ever be anything more than friends, but who knows? It was nice and I would do it again.
One can never have too many friends. There is no rush to make it anything more than friends. Just enjoy the time you spend together. Having lunch with a grown-up is fun, isn't it?
You know your H will bug you until you cave. You have to be the one break that routine. You have to make yourself aware of his manipulative lines and just don't respond to them any further. How he feels is his to own, not yours. You can do this. You have grown so much in the past year it is just wonderful.

Look not mournfully into the past. It comes not back again. Wisely improve the present. It is thine. Go forth to meet the shadowy future, without fear. {Henry Wadsworth Longfellow}
