Sounds like you had a wonderful time at the beach. I think he is wanting to watch movies with you because it is a quiet time and just the two of you and he likes that.
Next time he asks you if you are checking up on him, come back with a good line like, "I could not wait to see your gorgeous smile...." or some such thing. It will boost him a little!
Sounds good so far. I hope all is okay with his job.
