Why not? Just because one personally does not engage in grand romantic gestures does not mean one cannot respect the sentiment. This particular individual had until then only loved her from afar, which as an experience I have been told is quite trying. Taking this unfortunate for a drink did much to alleviate the lingering sensation of being the cliched romantic rival in an uninspired date movie.
Besides, I suspect the feeling was reciprocated -- she did turn quite red when she saw who was at the door. Or perhaps that was because said door was being answered by a stranger in a towel. I am never quite certain of the subtleties.
