I keep saying it's the same guy!! Mine is the same way.
p.s. Mer-I'd have to say that during this process I have learned that what he DIDN'T communicate to me is coming to light. And the process of "listening" has become an important thing for me to learn. So, I guess maybe he was communicating-not so much differently-just not in the right language?? (i.e. let's go to dinner was his way of saying let's spend time together, alone) Better explanation?
