I like the slow pacing. I felt the awkwardness. The guy suffers from a severe inferiority complex, and maybe she does too but it doesn't show as much. Not everything has to be face slapping, 3-way love triangles. Not every guy has to be strong and stoic. Not every girl has to be weepy over a dude. I dunno, I like it. Romance can take a slow burn and still be moving.
