You guys are in a pattern that isn't working for you and it's up to you to break it.
Business trip that length sounds like a form of GAL to me. Not telling him acknowledges the reality of where you guys are in your relationship, and emphasizes that reality to him. Go, don't meet him, and rock your project. That will give you confidence and it will give him information.
Hope you're headed someplace awesome!!
