H is too confusing for words

I think you did a good job asking, Kim. Now it will be easier to tell if he's legitimately trying or if he's throwing words at you that he thinks you want to hear. Don't be scared of making progress, but sit tight for awhile and see if he can walk the walk now that he's talked the talk a bit.

I think I have to claim credit for this. There mere mention, even in cyber space, of you going on a date is bringing him stumbling back!
