If I were going to write a romance, the girl would rescue the guy. Bewilderment at being the rescue-ee would be expressed. World-saving would ensue. Girl would learn that you don't need to define yourself by other people's standards, and Boy would learn the difference between honor and reputation. And they, and a couple (hundred, maybe) of their best friends, would save the world. I'm pretty sure I'm one of those people who likes a bigger plot.

Oh! Have I mentioned that I like your new default icon? Apparently, I find simpsonized icons fun. :-)
