First off, what do you have against a nice bagel? Coupled with a schmear of cream cheese, a thick slice of tomato and some 40 dollar a pound lox, really there isn't much that's tastier. And now that that's out of the way...
1. I know what you mean and yet in a weird way, it makes sense to me. Since I'm convinced he was following her around for a year in LA, I don't think he ever expected to actually talk to her. So he tried to act as the ultra cool unaproacable guy, which was probably partly in self defense (he doesn't want to get staked), partly because she unnerves him and he has no idea how to act. But even off that bat it doesn't toally work because even in the second episode when she asks about having friends, this sudden lonliness oozes off of him. Long way to say, the more I watch the eps, the more I sort of like it.
3. I like the line. It's a teenager being ultra melodramatic but of course in her case, he lierally could kill her at any time. Don't forget that right before this point, he's just told her this relationship is a terrible idea because a kiss from her is not going to turn the beast into a prince. And her reply is that she doesn't care - she's in love with the beast even though she knows it's dangerous. In other words, I'm not naive, I know the risks and I'll chance it anyway.
4. I've already published several volumes with my hate-on for this.
5. Yes, it's cheesy but I love how much Angel does want to pretend he's a normal guy for her. Plus, Joss and co. wanted to make it clear that Angel was committed to her prior to The Sex.
6. I think it's supposed to be tender and innocent and loving which is exactly how it comes across to me. Don't forget that by this point in time, Angel has probably fucked thousands of men, women and demons but this was the very first time in his very long life that this was an unselfish act of love.
