I do believe this is "his" way for pre-piecing. If he wasn't into it, he wouldn't be discussing or letting me steer either.. He would shut it down. To reiterate, he is "talking/thinking" about asking me out...much like he used to "think" about buying me flowers and a ring, etc. He then would feel justified.. "at least I thought of it", he would say.
