My final thoughts on the guy: Schizo as it sounds, I get the feeling he might be putting up a front of creepy cringelord that repulses all women. It would unironically not be a bad idea to avoid getting #metoo'd in his kind , and I base this entirely on the fact that there were points in the interview where he changed personality wildly and actually seemed to have passable chemistry with Pippa.
Rrat aside, he still has some obvious grifter tendencies and a distinct lack of tact. Putting it generously, he needs to lurk moar. I don't think he intends to rape her so that's something.
