My UFO (unbelievably fabulous observations)

[Gardener]

hm,

lol!--I don't know that we're really "a thing" even now!

Do you want you two to be a "thing" at this point?

but there's clearly something happening here, and it's good, and when he is ready...well, there's likely to be someone around and not 800 miles away.

If there's clearly something happening and it's good - and I believe you on both counts - then there is no need to pursue! C'mon, hm, break out DB 101.
Go a bit dark. Or Dim at least.
Let it be. And it will be what it is meant to be.
