The more of thought of it I don't think H intended me to go to dinner. That would explain why he didn't initiate much conversation. Of course, he was polite and attentive because his parents were there. I quietly asked him later how much I owed for the meal and he insisted on paying so he obviously didn't feel too strongly about my presence.

I have been feeling a bit restless/impatient about things with H lately. I have had success and I don't want to spoil things with my impatience. He has told me before that I need to be more patient. Do I.... 1 keep going as I have, patiently affirming the positives,
2. retreat and go a little dark or
3. issue an invitation?

What do you think?
