hrm,
There is no rhyme or reason to what the mlcer will do. They all have their quirky ways of doing things. Your h appears to be having some moments of clarity right now...don't know if it is because he's not being pressured about the relationship and/or work, but he's doing his own thing, so to speak.

Continue the way you have been handling things...be thankful he's been cordial and somewhat pleasant. Grab a bag of popcorn and join the rest of the us along the street to watch the circus go zooming by.


Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to.
The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
