Coly, my advice which has worked very well for me:
First of all he will probably say nothing of the above at all, but let's say he does and it's a bomb drop in your lap of any variety. Just say, wow, ok.. let me think about that. Best response is no response. Ages ago, I'd respond to H with long emails about how I felt-- bad move! Lesser ages ago I'd feel he deserved a response right then and there to whatever it was he said. I don't do that anymore at all! hugs.
