It's as easy as this...what you've been doing has been working, so you keep doing it.
I know it's easy to get your hopes up, but I wouldn't let it change the dynamics at this point. You had a nice talk, you had a nice evening....but really, nothing has changed....yet. Remember, it's not that words that are important....it's the actions. His journey is just as important as yours, and you aren't both going to be traveling at the same pace.
What is important to figure out at this point though, is what would it take from your H for you to give this another shot? What would he have to do? What boundaries would have to be kept? What would a new relationship look like in the beginning?
