What does it mean when a guy starts to seek your approval? What does it mean when he tries to get you to like what he likes?

When your relationship has previously been casual and pretty surface level, but has started to gradually change into him trying to get you to like what he likes. Ie: sending you music, sending you photos of his car, taking you to the gym with him to his yoga class, sending you pictures of him in high school, etc
