When she asks "Would you date me?" it doesn't even occur to him that she means "in my natural form"
Very true. I still find the specific line about being 'awfully concerned with her looks' irritating for the reasons I mentioned. But it's definitely true that the point of the scene is that Charles seems to forget Raven is constantly hiding herself, and I do buy that as something he'd fall into, that's something even a well-intentioned person can do too easily. :-/ Even if Charles were more sensitive, as I kind of think he should've been, based on his abilities... even then I could see him falling into that way of thinking.
