You GO GIRL!!!!!!! I think you just passed the test too.
As usual you tend to handle things with such poise and dignity. I actually feel that I passed a test this weekend too but the recognition as it were shall only be given from those here that will be able to "understand" the process. Great for you.
I think you are correct in your analysis of him that he was also being honest w/you which is another positive step.
Just wanted to chime in on the "date" topic as well. I think you are doing a good job w/the fact that you are working on the "family" connection w/him. I know that it will take time before you and he can be "alone". The connection has to be fed before it can grow into something that will flourish, IMHO.
I think going S L O W L Y, as you mentioned is a good way to manuever your sit. Once again, you'll know when to put your big toe in the water and see how things are going. Next attempt might also be some family pool time (hopefully w/out the mess again LOL).
Take care. You're such a great role model. I hope I can pull it out and hang tough like you're doing! Tootles...........
