well one of FFVIII's issues is that the game gives you the option to be mean to Rinoa repeatedly without consequence so that can make it seem forced if you chose to go that route because you don't like her

I never got the idea that the romance was forced. Rinoa walking up to Squall in the dance sequence pretty much sealed their fates. Approaching the insecure guy with a scar on his face, and telling him he's the best looking guy there? It was a done deal.

Honestly, I never got the impression that Squall was socially insecure in the way you're talking about. He had various insecurities (see: his Ellone complex) but not "I am shy at parties" - he just didn't like parties and liked being alone.

Admittedly I'm projecting but if I were standing alone at a party because I didn't feel like socializing, and someone got all up in my face and insisted I dance (even if she complimented me) I would stay far away from that. I'll do what I want, thanks.
