Well, we know Archie is comfortable with long-term casual dating in general (in keeping, I think, with pre-WWII mores), so I suspect the problem here is that she's not eligible for that kind of treatment--not only is she young, but she's foreign, and he's not going to see her again. He doesn't want to take advantage! Oh, Archie. ("The rest are just tots." ARCHIE GOODWIN WITH MANY TOTS CLAMBERING OVER HIM.)
I've been wondering how long Constanza's skirt actually was. Being modern, we're naturally assuming, like, Amy Pond's skirt, but it was probably at least actual knee-length.
