Lou it is wonderful that you see yourself becoming a better version of you. Learning how to really listen and think things through will bring many good things to your life regardless of what happens with your M.
(I talk to myself out loud all the time. I am really just working through things and it slips out ha ha.
I am also glad that you set a smaller goal. As you have already noticed seeing baby step achieved is great for your PMA.
You have already reminded your self not to over think or guess his thoughts or motives. Just wait and see what happens. I agree you should make plans to go with or without him. Just plan a quick pop in so there is no pressure then you can stay longer if you are having fun.
The weekend is 4 days away. Hope you have fun getting to know you again!
