I don't know exactly how it happens and it might have been changed/broken between patches, but him always assuming you're romanced and flirting happened in a recent rush through events for me. I didn't even go through the conversation to recruit him. He shows up as a green dot in camp like a companion not currently in my party, but he doesn't have his own adjustable inventory in camp storage and he isn't leveled up. And he'll still have his flirting if I try some conversations in act 2 and if I reload to make sure I haven't conversed with him in act 2, he will still confess his love for me in act 3. I wish I was more tech savvy and could dig into all the romance and consent flags to understand where things are going wrong, but as of right now it makes him very off-putting to interact with if you're not interested in his romance content on your current playthrough.
