I could be way off here, but IMO I think your H's feelings for you are what is confusing him. He's back in the tunnel processing the day you spent together.
He may also be thinking about the comment you made at the end of the evening. This is all mind reading of course, and I get to think about it rationally (I hope), but after spending a wonderful day with you and then hearing at the end of it that I may never get to do that again because of the choices I've made, it would certainly give me something to think about. Your H may be thinking about the possibility that you are moving on and not just sitting there waiting for him...
