I hope so too. In the meantime, you have to take it really slow with Gale and camp/rest a LOT. Make sure you rest after each approval up grade, medium, high, very high. You may have to rest more than once for each so you get all of Gale's cut scenes. Also, keep in mind his approval jumps up a lot in the grove if you play a good aligned character. Anyway, you need his weave scene to kick off the romance which I believe triggers at the high level. Good luck!
Incidentally, and if you haven't found this out already, if you can get a mod where he is shirtless during the actual romance scene, it's so well worth it...
