You really have to take what they way w/a grain of salt because they are emotionally all over the place. Sure, he's talking about a bigger pool right now, but tomorrow he could be talking about something else. Listen and validate. Actions speak louder than words.

Also, he may say he wants to go for a ride and if something more interesting comes along, he's going to run w/that activity. Just like a teenager, no thought of how the other person feels and it's whatever floats their boat at that given time.

Don't rely on him for anything. Trust your instincts. If he shows up to do what he was talking about, then fine...but keep those expectations at zero as much as possible so that you aren't disappointed or hurt.

Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to.
The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
