I don't think I've made it up to the inadvertent-grab bit, tho' that does sound amusing.
There's the "looking for a good relationship" (romantic or otherwise) thing, but it mixes with the fact that he only really has examples of bad relationships to go by, as far as we know.
*nods* His childhood models are obviously deeply messed up, and as Cho pointed out in one of our endless metas, pretty much all of his teen and early-adult exposure seems to be drunks and barflies and petty toughs like Banri, which also doesn't exactly seem like the best place to go looking for models of healthy behavior, romantic or otherwise! And heck, you know I love Hakkai to bits too, and love the idea of Hakkai and Gojyo together, be it platonically or romantically -- but at the same time, even I have to admit that when the most positive relationship in your life is with an incestuous mass-murderer of extremely dubious sanity...yeah, you're officially a total mess.
