I personally think it's more important that you stay right where you are, as far as your interactions with H.
Start looking at the glass half-full instead of half-empty. You would have given a right arm two months ago to be where you are and have H this close. Why would you push him away now? Don't you see how that would be punishing H for *progress*??
Stick to the course you chose. Work on you and your issues when there's a "downtime" in the relationship. Bake him something, for goodness' sake! If you stop doing what you've been doing that has re-attracted H to you, he's going to realize it was all just a ploy ... and the fact is: it all WOULD have been.
We haven't encouraged you to be fun and flirty *only* to catch H's eye and attention. The idea is to also help YOU feel better about YOU. More self-assured. Confident. Beautiful.
Do not stop working on you, mdu. Pull yourself out of your doubtful, fear-heavy place. Don't wait on H to make you feel better or give you assurances; YOU do something that makes you feel better. Today. It's amazing what a walk will do for your spirits. Or how about a new outfit?
