You're not wrong, he's a hot mess. Completely self-destructive, too—"She doesn't like me?? That's so attractive!".
...Enjoyment of this story appears to hinge partially on finding his ass so damn pitiful that it's conversely endearing. Plus whatever redemptive tropes they can throw at him post-facto (a classic "genuinely didn't understand love/human relationships" trope is already in play, I've noticed).
Honestly, though, I actually personally am immensely enjoying this so far... while remaining cognizant of the fact that he is an ongoing dumpster fire and definitely not someone I would ever want to considera romance any interpersonal relationships with in real life.
