I think Tasha is equally to blame because she didn't really give this man enough time to vet his feelings and for them to build a real connection.

He is not interested in her silly tv shows and that cook out was HILARIOUS. "You can play music in the park?.. Man, gimme the damn cord!"

But yes, Lawrence is finally getting to a point where he can look at himself with pride and honor and be honest about what he wants. Unfortunately he did it on the back of Tasha's availability, literally and figuratively.
