Glad to see you're still hanging in there KDU! Having H initiate these positive convos is certainly a good thing. Of course, we don't know how good. And you certainly did right by being playful without going further. He knows you're not shutting him out, but that you want him to have space.
Maybe you do this already, but if not, really work at finding something fun to do pretty soon that he doesn't know about. Then when he calls again, whenever that may be, you'll have something easy to talk about that shows you're not just sitting by the phone pining away for him. And how much fun you can be if he makes the right choice .
