Realism
As I watch a rape victim ask her attacker, "do you like me?" my feminist brain goes koblooey, but that is because I am seeing this in perfect 20/20 hindsight vision from 2013 in the comfort of safety. But that reaction is actually perfectly normal, as I know not only from personal experience, but from friends who have married their rapists. Also, I think the thrill of ripping off old guys by pretending to tease them sounds like a fun way to get back at them at first, and then after a few nice men you wouldn't want to do it any more. I believed the heroine's story, hoping that the boyfriend loved her but not really believing he did.
