Yes it& #39;s bad!!
The Point of Lover is oh shit I want to be with this person forever!! "can we always be this close?" is the question asked by someone used to it always going wrong and is braced for a crash, a male reassuring voice destroys this vulnerability

exemplified by him belting back "i& #39;ll save you a seat" - the softness was what made it! & #39;Saving someone a seat& #39; is innately vulnerable! they might not join you, the voice of Lover risking it is a sign of love - him immediately reassuring her gets rid of the weight of risk!

Similar she names all her flaws and self doubts and doesn& #39;t have him/tell him to answer her, as she does in Love Story, Wildest Dreams etc, "i& #39;m highly suspicious" "swear to be over dramatic and true" has emotional weight bc this anxiety is not soothed by him
