That was awful. He said everything he could short of the L bomb and when he ran out of ways of not saying it, he went for it.
I don't blame him for not wanting to say I love you if he's not ready, but it's the way he treats her like some charity case who should be grateful that he gives her the time of day.
He never compliments her. He should be telling her she is beautiful, out of his league, can't believe he is with her. Not 'you're made for ME', 'you're MY GURLFRIEND', 'you're good for ME'.
