Again, he's seventeen years old, she is double his age, and all he wanted to do was eat some ramen and have a talk. If you want to rationalize this, feel free, but it's not going to be justified to certain people. If you're trained in combat and went on missions where 'force' is required, I think some guy sitting next to you at a ramen stand isn't very threatening when you've probably stared death in the face a few times. That's just me though.
