You sure don't want her to end up with Rito that much, don't you? Regardless of whether us readers want it or not, it's plain as day that nearly the entire female cast (including Ryoko and Tearju) are part of the harem as the author intended (complain to him or don't read it if you don't like it). It's actually what makes this series different as Rito serves as the cornerstone to the girls' relationships and has different positions in his relationship with each girl. For example, to Sairenji, Rito is her main love but is having difficulty confessing to him (vice versa). For Lala on the other hand, Rito is like the perfect guy as he not only loves her, but also the other people (mainly the girls of the series) she specially cares for (as she's an alien, polygamy is not a strange concept to her and is something she thinks will keep them all together happily like her everyday life with everyone around Rito). To Yami, Rito is the one who caused her to change and become more human (while falling for him in the process).

So far, Rito has been the one Ryoko trusts with various things she normally keeps secret (same with Tearju) whether it be work or personal to an extent. It's apparent that she blushed on Motto To Love-Ru's last episode when he mistakenly confessed to the group of girls which included her. It's clear that while Rito isn't shown to be that mature, he's someone who could support Ryoko (and the other way around since she is the older one). If one were to assume, their romantic relationship would be close to real life relationships involving a more mature person supporting a younger partner, while the younger partner also lets his/her older partner experience the joys of a "youthful love". It's quite a staple on manga/anime with such settings.

Sexuality isn't a main issue in the series as it's mainly used for fanservice, and thinking his abilities in bed have anything to do with character romance progression in this series would be a mistake. Also, Rito has been shown to be actually quite mature as a person when he isn't overcome by his embarrassment (since lewd things happen all over him without his intentions). He has been shown to ponder with internal conflict in whether or not he should pursue making all the girls happy or just one (since he's a pure Earthling who grew up with the notion of Monogamy and Polygamy laws) since he wants them to be trully happy. Needless to say, he has never wanted to do anything lewd to a girl because he's simply an honest and honorable person (the kind who'd only do it with his wife if he had one).

I doubt that his character development throughout a series this long leaves him as a "kindegarden kid". He's actually as mature as the two adults in his harem if you ask me (this one is my opinion), and maturity isn't dependent on how a person can handle embarrassment/shyness.
