Is grooming the right word here? The guy is 42, grooming to me has a pedophilic connotation.

This is how groomed is used, yes. The sexually overt connotation is a very recent thing.

The word has a many meanings - https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/groom

Squinting at a [Compact] 1971 Oxford English Dictionary - the pedophilic meaning postdates that edition.
