I'm not saying she can't feel that way or that it wouldn't make sense from her perspective. I'm saying I can understand why Nathan would be frustrated and confused about her mixed signals, and why he wouldn't want to jump right into "I love you"s with someone who just a couple weeks prior was telling him they should take it slow, among other things.
