yeah a lot of this reads like B.S. he's not asking her out and getting nervous/afraid around her just because it's a kinship/platonic friendship.

also, as someone else pointed out, you can't say he chose a physically desirous body to her and then say it's not about sexuality.

completely understand all the stuff about him (neither of them, really) having a normal life, but that's a separate issue.

Basically he’s an asexual (demisexual) romantic, she’s a sexual romantic, and so he’s adjusting to accommodate while attempting to cure her. It’s that simple.

who said that he was asexual? or that she was sexual? i don't think either of these things have been established yet.

It's clearly shown that MG finds Rex sexually attractive, and that Robot, before having this body, didn't share typical human desires. Particularly when it comes to looks.

Not only shown, it was SAID.
