However, I will say... he does seek me out to watch some shows on TV w/him (but, because he knows I like them... not sure if it's because he wants to watch them w/me.)
Of course he wants to watch them with you. Why else come find you?
Keep it up. I think if you look back, you have come quite a distance in a short amount of time. He is trusting you more and more. He is beginning to like you more and more. That's a good foundation for what you are trying to achieve. He knows that you want the more intimacy. But I think that intimacy starts with being able to share the feelings and not the physical act of sharing intimacy. That will come later. Trust first.
Did you ever get him to the doc? I never saw anything from that.
As for a date - you could be direct and spontaneous and just say, "hey, want to take a great lady on a date? Just know that I don't kiss on the first date." or you could be more subtle and say that you really enjoyed the "date" you had this weekend as couples and leave it at that. No pressure. No expectations for either of those. He may not respond. At least not in the time you'd like.
Keep up the good work. You're making tremendous progress. I'm proud of you MB.
