The knucklehead refuses to give an inch and then expects her to wait around?
Well, agree he is a knucklehead. That should be his middle name. But he has given hints as is from the time they met. Even gave her a job so that she could be stable, during her catering days was also looking over her.
As per Maan'a perspective:
1. He knows he has some feelings for her but what is that feeling how deep is that he doesnt know. He cannot find logic of his feelings also he doesnt want to hurt her by confessing something and then changing his mind and not committing. That would be more painful for him.
2. Also there is this skewed power dynamics, right now he is her boss. His taking a step forward might also be borderline exploitation that he doesn’t want. He knows she has had too many financial and career issues as is, she has found little stability with this job, he doesn't want to ruin her peace of mind
