He's not, presumably, dumb at romance, he just keeps people at an arm's length to keep them from being hurt by his misfortune. Note here the fact that prior to being sent to Academy City, he was treated as an ill omen.

As for him being book dumb, consider that the majority of Academy City is supergenius+. He's probably considerably smarter than the average joe, he's just not up to Academy City's standard of human supercomputers.
