Okay, so... Everyone blamin' this dude for being dense, but it takes two to tango(or not tango, as the care may be). She knows he won't pick up on hints, but keeps dropping hints. Also started to draw him as "something I like", but then bailed.
...
And took the easy way out when he was like "Is this still about ramen?" and went "yeah, it's about ramen" instead of going "It's about my clam chowder, now are you gonna add sausage or am I serving it with my fingers tonight?"
In fairness, it is called out that she's drinking more than usual. She may've prescribed herself a little liquid courage to get this far.
