'Graceless' and 'graceful' do not mean the same thing. Please, my boy fumbles and stumbles and bangs into things all the time. He does not 'move with a feline grace' through the room, he does not have good reflexes, he is not impressive in motion at all. For the love of god, stop having your character watch him and wax purple in her head about how great he is. He's got a lot of good things going for him but this is not one of them. If you absolutely must make her have a crush on him can she at least fall for one of the qualities he actually has?
And no, stop asking for sex. Sex with my boy is like playing Russian Roulette. One time out of six, someone's going to get hurt. I don't smut with people who aren't likely to embrace that part of the scene.
characterization fail,
purple prose
