>he should've tried to find more situations to do so, or asked her more about herself (not necessarily about her past). He knows how timid she is, and that he's the one who will have to make the first move, but he never tried to move things in any direction.is not out of character. He chooses not to do these because he views her as vulnerable and doesn't want to take advantage of her. That's why the protection thing was such an issue for her: she was seen as vulnerable and not an equal, and that meant they could never be together.
He only moves towards those actions in the good end once he stops seeing her as quite so vulnerable, and starts seeing her as an equal.
Perhaps a better summary of my "complaint" is that I wish he would've seen her as an equal sooner.
