I am confused on what you mean by he's trying to mate with you. I assume he's a single bird? I also have a single male 'tiel that thinks I'm his girlfriend. My guy is pretty much free range - meaning he's out of his cage most of the day and caged only at night. Mine also yells when he can not see me, I find it easier to just go get him and bring him with me around the house - he has me well trained. They do this for attention be it they are bored or whatever. He also yells when it's bed time or he wants some seeds (I feed him pellets - seeds are a treat). As for the mating or the "bathes without water", is he tipping his head down and tossing his wings out and twitching around? If that is what you are seeing then you have a happy, content bird who's showing off. We call it Twitchy Bird. Be content, he sounds happy.
