even when it's established in canon he had difficulty getting dates
Are you referring to his dorkiness with Chaya here, or has there been some other indication that I'm not remembering?
Personally, I see him as someone who would have no trouble picking up a girl in a bar, but would be terribly awkward with someone he really cared about. I think he felt a connection and sort of longing for Chaya from the get go, which lead to his desire to not fuck things up, and hence his nerves. If he simply wanted the company of a pretty girl, or to get an easy lay, I have no trouble imagining him ratcheting up the charm.
Good points about his sutblety, though, in conctrast to McKay's excitability. And you don't know where I can d/l his CSI:Miami ep, do you?
