What are you trying to make progress on in therapy?
What feelings do you have about boundaries. Do they make you fearful that the therapist doesn't care about you? Are you angry to not have more of them? What emotions does this stir up that you keep focusing on it?

Seems like ruminating about and debating the therapists' boundaries versus your own may be a time-consuming distraction. Is it that you also have issues with other peoples' boundaries outside therapy? If so, would it help to talk about those with a therapist?
After all, the therapist is there to help you have a better life outside therapy, I wonder if it wouldn't help to just focus more on that aspect of it? Do you really need to devote much time to the off chance of a meeting at a gathering, since their job is just to help you with the other issues and people in your life, not to really join that life?
I don't mean to seem too harsh, I'm just wondering what's at the heart of all of this. Is there a feeling underneath it all you're trying to deal with? A fear or anger over something? Or is it just that you have a feeling of needing some more human connection and imagine that a T might be able to provide it? I can tell how important this is to you and just wonder what caused that so you can resolve it and feel better.
