@Silfir:
I took this at least somewhat as a cheerful satire of what would happen if someone thought dating was supposed to work like it does in manga, FWIW.
Though the general case of "I'm cheerful and dense so I don't understand it when you say no" that shows up here, as in a lot of manga is, of course, a whole complicated topic to its own. I mean, it's basically the argument that stupid and/or fundamentally ill-informed people should get more patience because they don't understand what they're doing wrong, which is a
really mucky topic when you get down to brass tacks.
