I'm glad to hear that you feel more free to talk to him and he has left open the door to more by saying take some time and give more thought about what directon to go from here. So as to what to do ... maybe he can give you some clues. He said he does feel the same way as ten years ago. You could ask him what cause his feelings to wane. If he shares this with you, it would give you areas to focus on with 180's.
