Be careful about that, because it's pretty vague. If someone were to ask me for that or suggest it to me, it might mean one thing to me and something else entirely to the person who's asking/suggesting. What you think is "a bit of effort" probably does not match up with what his idea of that is, and "keep in touch" and "meet next" and "soon" likely have different connotations, too, don't you think?

I'm not talking about nailing him down to a specific way that your relationship has to go, but rather, being really clear within yourself about what you'd like to create, and how you'll know you were successful at creating it. Otherwise, you're leaving yourself vulnerable to the old: "I don't know exactly what I want, but I know this isn't it!" moping quandary.
