I tried romancing Aerie early on, but found her too annoying and decided to switch to Neera... after chapter 6. As a result i missed several quest-related triggers, and had to spend quite a few hours trying to figure out how to advance the romance. In the end i found two solutions:

1. Re-run the dungeons. She has dialogues that should happen after finishing quests like the beholder in the sewers and Lavok's Sphere, but i had already completed those before recruiting her. For the sewer one i ran through the entire dungeon, for Lavok's just entering and exiting the sphere worked.

2. Use the console. I am on BG2:EE, GOG version. The command C:AdvanceRealTime("5000000") advances the game's tracker of irl time, which is a pre-requisite for ALL of the love talks. Using it allowed me to trigger the talks literally one after the other, which was the final solution.

Being completely honest, solution 2 is the one that worked the best. The only time it didnt was for the one event that requires the party taking a rest, which was triggered by using the command and then taking a rest.

TL;DR: Romance progress is based on IRL time, the command C:AdvanceRealTime("5000000") immediately triggers the next love talk 90% of the time.
