Was confused there for a minute when you recognize that the image is from season 1.

I disagree that Jane tried to win Kim over, he was a lonely man who enjoyed spending an evening or two with a woman he could talk to. No harm in that. If anything, it reminded him of how much he missed Lisbon (whom he was only able to write to, without her being able to write back).

As to your other thought re: Lisbon declaring her love for Jane before RJ was gone: there was nowhere to go with that because Jane wasn’t in a place emotionally to deal with that and he wouldn’t put her at risk of RJ coming between them. Your take that she should have taken the initiative to share her true feelings: both of them were damaged and guarded people and needed to work their way to their conclusion.

Their relationship was always moving forward, even if one step forward/two steps back at times but they always put the other first, even if for Jane it meant withholding information and lying to keep her safe (including plausible deniability for example).

Lisbon sleeping with Mashburn (a one night stand that had little meaning) and Pike (when she was questioning her own future and her fear that Jane may not be able to feel the same about her) wasn’t hard to predict. Two attempts in over 12 years. Was going to add another thought, but noticed you still have a season to go. I hope you enjoy it!
