Sir Pentious, when falling for you, would get so caught up in trying to figure out how to court you! Are there even modern manuals for such a thing?! It is a bit frustrating and nerveracking for him, as someone who hails from a time where romance was so clearly outlined and predescribed. (Or, at least, it was for people of his standing. One has to be pretty well-off to spend their lives being a 'mad inventor', after all.)

Even before falling for anyone, he'd be a bit lost with certain types of technology, particularly with new kinds of phones and social media. They had exploded further in popularity the last couple of years, and he'd failed to keep up. He'd absolutely be the type who would spend ages talking to bots or scammers on Hell's Tinder equivalent... He's just really, really lonely.

He wants to be 'modern' in his attempts to woo you, but it's all so much more difficult now! (Though, it has to be said, he wasn't particularly good at wooing others back when he was alive, either.) Maybe he'd whine about it when he drinks a little too much at Husk's bar, or Angel Dust gives him some poor advice, because Pentious has about the subtlety of a rock when it comes to his feelings for you. He gets so nervous in the moments leading it up to it though, that he can't even act out whatever weird thing Angel convinced him was normal-- His tail twitches and rattles, hisses the only thing escaping his mouth as he completely freezes up. It'll be a situation much-ranted about to his Egg Boiz.

Really, with how obvious he is about it, you might as well cut the man some slack and confess to him first, if the feelings are returned. You'd be doing both of you a favour!

(bonus: If you're a woman, and you go out to dinner with him or the like, he might even insist that you pay the bill. It's, uh, a clear show of the fact that he respects your independence as a lady! ...Or something. He's not really sure he's doing this right...)
