Whew- your H is exhausting. I actually think it's a really good thing that he's going away for a few weeks, even if you didn't get any before he left. Give him a chance to miss you.
It sounds like he's really testing you. Everything he says seems to be trying to get a response. You are doing really well with the low-key answers.
Question... do you want him to take this job? Being non-committal is good, but so is "Asking for what you want". Maybe tell him in a really low pressure way what you want. He may be seeking some encouragement.
