Sorry to constantly be commenting - but why do you think they supposedly stopped dating?
I would like to guess it was her who stopped the rendezvous. She got cold feet or her H started to sniff it out.
So, she left him, he's at home watching movies alone, sleeping late - yeah - signs of feeling low and rejected. Yet, he hangs on to some hope that she might return.
She might, she might not. He'll get sick of the fantasy at some point.
