@FredFriendly This is a dangerous argument to make, let me play devil's advocate and ask "Is it, really?". Granted, her characterization so far does say she would not go "eeeww", but such a fear is not unsubstantiated. Remember a key and connect element is not just him not revealing his lack of experience, but his emotional state. If we do replay this story with him outwardly showing his emotions with the same strength and intensity that has been playing in his head, what would be a realistic reaction?
Imagine if we re-played chapter 2 and he does show the full level of fear he is trying to control? What would be a realistic reaction? Now, within her characterization, she probably would not react in the way he fears, but be is fully readable by his friend - of which the range of emotions she felt from amusement to care for her friend, none of them imply attraction (now thinking about that, that might be a clue to why Kurata and Inoue seem to operate on such a closeness that Yamamoto would interpret the two as having a closer past - but seemingly zero attraction). Or let's take chapter 3, instead of his semi-controlled confession, what if he confess with the full eagerness and anxiousness, how does that tend to sound in a realistic context?
Maybe I'm wrong, maybe he should have straight up respond with his level of inexperience. And technically, one can imagine how to play out that out in a believable manner while maintaining a believable attraction. But the one plausible manner I can imagine also require a rock solid level of confidence in revealing that. Else, it starts to approach wish fulfillment in human behavior.

Not really a spoiler but just a caution. Just two cents of my thoughts without the rose-tinted glasses.
Fluffness and all, the idea of The One is a load of bull. I believe that if you just talk to any girls, you can quickly gauge her acceptable compared to your The One.
I believe our man just quickly fell in love with her because
A. She was introduced by a colleague
B. He was desperate at this point.
I'm just a kissless virgin so, this is just an opinion of mine. Not trying to be a masters of romance.

@ToaruBaka - That part of what I'm trying to say. They both having the same thoughts, but one is expressing it and the other is trying his hardest to not. As much as the discussion is saying he is being dishonest. Being "honest" would mean Kurtata sounding something like Yamamoto sounds like. Which does start grazing after the initial cuteness. Which is what he is trying to avoid. Technically he can reveal it without sounding like that, but that ironically takes even more confidence to pull it off without sounding like how she sounds.

Come on buddy, you have it made here. Don't start lying to her, even backhandedly! She's going to find out!

@MasterPannya i totally get what you mean with how it's probably not a feeling of The One. That said tho, it's hard to force yourself to like someone (if he was that desperate) even if they're attractive. not that i'm trying to correct you. just adding my two cents as a dumb teenager
