Sounds to me like you are making real progress with him, and that he is very receptive to all of your gestures. Also, sounds like you are definitely having flirtatious talk, so this is (at least I think) a very good sign.
So have you talked to a DB coach? I'm intrigued by the suggestion that you just talk to him and ask him how he's been feeling. If you've never talked about your feelings openly with him before (if this is in fact the case) it seems like it would be an experiment worth trialling. However it's also pretty risky, so I'd get the opinion of a coach if at all possible. Do you know where he sees the R at the moment? Has he ever said whether he's still open to trying etc.?
Hope you're having a good weekend,
