Tumbling, thanks for the update. I think the fact that he's responsive to your texts is a good sign. But I would not initiate the texts every single night. Be a little unpredictable.

If you do go out to eat with him, do not bring up the R issues. You want this meeting to be fun, lighthearted. You want him to remember you for who you are, not as the LBS.
Hey, gotta run to help out with the move. Will write more soon.
