It was a really super pretentious thing, and it didn't even deliver right, because it set up an actual romance and then said "Haha but actually this isn't a romance" - and then followed up with "but you know how you got the romance (that isn't a romance)? Do that in real life! (even though it won't get you a real romance somehow)". At least it could have been better if you confess instantly, instead of actually building up a relationship over months.
