I am so confused, may be i am stupid, but when he said "Would you go out with me in purely platonic way" and then she start talking about how she is happy "This is first time I have been confessed to." BUT does not in purely platonic way mean that he want just non-physical relationship like friendship? Doesn´t it mean exact opposite of confession? Can somebody explain it to me? (English is not my first language.)
thank you
