The "talk" scheduled for Saturday..

[Tulo]

Oh, maybe I should tell you a bit more about our R..

We've live in neighbouring towns but not been able to move in yet, due to work and housing situation. He has 3 kids, I have one that's moved out but 6 dogs. I went out with him, after he had pursued me on and off for over 6 months.

We felt an connection at once and became a couple pretty quick.
We've spoken, texted many many times every day, and seen each other at least 4-5 times a week. He worked in the US for 6 weeks last summer and that made us even closer, talking, texting, Skyping all the time. Been very much in love the entire time up until I would say February when he had to go away for work for almost a months and I could feel that we were not as close that time around as previous.

He came home and it was an incident with his youngest child, where I stood up for what I thought was in the best interest of the boy and he took it like I complained about his parenting.
I thought we sorted it out. Little over a week later, he said he wasn't feeling this any more. I asked if he just wanted to give up, and he said that he didn't want to through it all away. We decided to try to reconnect.

2 weeks followed that I thought was pretty great. But then he said that he didn't want to drive to my town, he was tired and just wanted to stay home. I asked what the problem was and he said that his feelings hasn't changed. I said I didn't want to give up on us.

A week of more or less NC followed and then I asked if we could get together. I wanted to keep if fun and upbeat but when he walked around like sour grapes, I didn't succeed.
Went home, so sad. Day after, we spoke on the phone and after some ups and downs it suddenly got a bit hot and steamy.
He said he wanted to ML to me and so on. Felt good.
I came on this site and decided to back off and let him breath.

He contacted me a few times and then on Wednesday last week, the talk came up again. He very sure that he has no feelings left. He said we needed to talk in person. I put it off, hoping he would get time to chill.

He texted me Monday morning, saying he hoped my weekend had been good and so on. Few texts back and forth. Pleasant and only signed off with "hug". Today I had a meltdown and called with a silly reason, all very polite and if not bubbly so at least friendly. Decided to meet on Saturday after my run.

So DB, that's the whole story. The man who I always call "Mr Gold" might have turned in to Mr Sand and I just want to try and switch it all back again.. So what do I do now?

Any tips, 2X4's or something?
