There's an easy answer to this.
Love is irrational.
Honesty isn't very romantic. "You're one of the more moderately attractive women who have given me the time of day recently, and since I don't think I can do any better at this point, I'd love it if I could spend money to take you to dinner in the hopes of convincing you to come home with me afterwards and have sex with me."
