He doesn't hit on you straight out the gate... he's preoccupied with feeling a strange sense of familiarity. Action text says "you go with the flow and shake his hand" - Hamuko likely felt that sense of familiarity and recognition, too. It's even possible she may suspect him to be Pharos.
After that Rank he's already calling the Kyoto trip a "Kyoto Date", pfft.
Rank 2
Flirtin' with us on the train ride to school. Life is lovely, the ocean is pretty, school is fun - Ryoji gets to enjoy just living.
Rank 3
Now you can be the one to invite Ryoji out! There's ofc a swarm of girls he's charming easily too. "I've already decided on my princess for today" BOY. Even though he says that, he pauses and says "I feel like I shouldn't be saying things like this to you... I want to be more sincere with you".
Sunday Hangout
He takes you to a cafe, and comments on the number of couples around you two. He admits that he would like us regardless of gender (bicon). Though he says that he somehow knows that once he realizes how he knows us, we'll get closer... but that makes him feel horribly sad, and makes him want to cry.
Rank 4
Ryoji struggles to understand what lovers talk about, and more importantly, why you in particular. Why is he so drawn to you? He doesn't talk about executions (maybe that's under the dialogue option where you say 'depressing topics'? Checked, nope, he just speculates that one can only really confide in someone they care for over such sad things). He asks if you'll meet him again on the 22nd.
Rank 6
Reminiscing already about Kyoto, Ryoji shows off a ring he bought himself during the trip. He'd bought it as a subtle reminder of the trip and the fun he had with everyone. "I think that rings are things that bind memories to the person wearing them".
Rank 7
You two discuss Junpei's absence from the career week... Ryoji says that death is something that needs to just be accepted, but he IS worried about his friend.
Sunday Hangout
Like a couple of nerds, you sneak to Gekkoukan high and hop the fence just so you can go to the rooftop. "When I'm alone, I don't feel right..." he says. He feels scared that tomorrow is coming, and as he trails off and stutters, you complete his incomplete "I'm..." with "You're Ryoji". He feels soothed by hearing his name from you. Here, he admits his feelings and confesses.
Rank 9
He asks to go to your room. Bold! He says he can vaguely remember it, somehow, like he's seen it in a dream. He says that he thinks he came to be friends, but "what we have now is different from being friends." How he feels about Junpei and Yukari isn't how he feels for you. "You are so kind" ... "...You shouldn't give so much of yourself to me. I'll... probably make you sad."
Honey... that's how life is. Everyone will make you sad. But that makes life worth living. "Please touch me... feel for yourself that I'm actually here." It fades to black with you only touching his hand, but you do see him off afterwards.
Rank 10
He returns to give us the option on how we should die. The question, the confrontation - it's exactly the same. Save for the moment just before going back downstairs... he takes off his ring from Kyoto, passing it to you. It's proof that he was 'human', for at least a little while. His last words for you, in private, are "I love you".
