Hi,
I am getting back into Horary after some time, so don't take my answer too seriously, but I'll have a go, if you don't mind.
The early Asc truly shows that the situation will take time to develop and is still in very early stages. What worries me a bit is the that Mer (you) is combust, which means that either you are very apprehensive, as you really want things to work, or also sort of blinded and, and may be going to fast with your expectations right now. He is Jup (via the 7th house), but is very weak in Gem (detriment of Jup). He is angular and so are you both through Gem and your co-sig: the Moon in the 10th. So, yes, there could be a lot of activity out in the open (10th house). The Moon is going to meet Jup, which is good. Mer is applying in a square to Jup. A square is not a no, but shows that 'the path of love never did run smooth', as in obstacles there. I think with Jup and the Moon in Gem (also not its strongest sign), and the the Moon ruling the 11th, wherein Ven is placed, I think right now and for the next bit at least, it will be a friendship, a very communicative one. Though we have our answer, and actually don't need to look further, but if we were to just look at the traditional sigs: Ven and Mars, too, they are also applying to eachother in a square (struggle here, too), with Mars (he) as the stronger of the two, and being in the 3rd, he might like to keep it to going out and doing things together, activity, etc, at least for now. A question: did you meet him at your place of work, or through a work colleague, or some public/govt. office? Take it easy and let him make the first move.
Best
