[ Not that his say means anything much. But he goes in assuming friendship, because he might as well enjoy it while he can. And for all the time Christian apparently has, he doesn't seem to be able to spend it on connecting with people as much as he wants to. Most of the time, he's messing that up.
Through the tears, he manages to laugh at Dodger's shameless boasting. If he were an honest man, he'd agree that he was interested. It sounds like a good way to spend the night, and Christian liked the idea of fun in any context. But he isn't honest, and admitting attraction is difficult for him, so he laughs, afraid of messing up -- and that's why he never makes the connections he wants to make. The feel of a light kiss alone is enough to make him ducks his head. ]
