Hindering their prospective romance, Ruth and Harry have at least 2 years' absence, the ghost of a (barely) dead man, Her Majesty's Secret Service, a complete lack of personal time and the ugliness of dating one's boss (which, if you've been there, done that, you know is hardly ideal).

I would argue that taking one step forward, two steps back is completely in character for both of them. Harry plays his few emotional cards very close to his chest, and Ruth is crippled romantically by a lack of confidence and experience.
