Haha - that's true. However, since we play as the inside of Squall's head, as his character, we should have had some clue that he was more intrigued by Rinoa than he seemed. I've explained this in other threads, but I'll sumerize: I think that physically (meaning what actually happens onscreen between the couple, how they interact, what they say, etc) the game is very realistic in their character development. HOWEVER, since the game does provide us with their inner thoughts as well, it failed on progressing their emotional relationship more slowly. How each felt towards each other to themselves, even if they didn't express it. Rinoa was slightly better at this, but Squall needed some more of an inner dialogue with himself about it to make the leap from "go away, you annoy me" to "I want to hear her voice! I'm ready to die for her, ahhhh!"
