<human>: EDIT:  So I decided to take initiative, I sent this guy a text asking him out on a date - he said yes, so we're going to see a friend of mine perform and have a drink!

Hey dudes and dudettes of reddit. I need some help working out this guy's intentions, we are both in our early 20s and I am female.

We got together about 5 months ago as a couple of musicians just looking to jam and have some musical fun, but recently it has become less about that and more about deep conversation.  I now see this guy about twice a week for about 4 hours each time, and instead of music we end up in intense deep and meaningful conversation, we really seem to jive and understand each other.  This really confuses me, because I've never had this kind of connection before without it leading to a relationship.

We've also been out a few times together to listen to music and perform - he's always asked me out for more drinks after but it's never gone further than that. Recently I joined a band so naturally I invited him to come along to see them at a gig with me, in which he seemed very eager and happy to come along.  Afterwards he invited me out for more drinks at local bars, I went along with it as I thought maybe this was him trying to take things further but we both ended up a bit drunk trying to get home when public transport ceased to work.  Touch is the real issue here, I've made contact a few times but it's not really leading anywhere and he's not getting close in that way.

I think it's obvious that he views me as more than a music partner but how much more I don't know.  I just wanted to get your thoughts before I cleared things up with him.

Thanks for all your help!

Can you give me a shortened version of the text?
<bot>: Guy loves to have deep conversations with me, invites me out for more drinks and is happy to be alone with me but doesn't take it further, what are his intentions?
