This was well-written but moved awfully quickly. We don't even know why our narrator had such a jaded view of romance or love. Was he burned by someone? Constantly turned down when he was younger? Watched his father run through women and did the same? I think without knowing that it's a little difficult to sympathize with our narrator. Nor do we know why he appealed to the girl. Those things would flesh out the story a lot.
It doesn't take a lot of words to tell a truth and to show the reality of it, but it does take some experience in life to be able to tell it so well and in so few words!
