The kiss with Angus was her first.

Well, if we're going to run with the "nerds have bad self-esteem and don't get any" stereotype, perhaps Francis did know in advance in a general sort of way from being around lots of science-nerds.
Somehow Marten's "eeeeEEEE" and mirror pose are a little creepy, as if Hanners' reaction was so powerful that it forced matching electrical currents in his brain by inductive coupling, like the secondary coil in a transformer.

I don't think that's a true stereotype (isn't that a contradiction in terms? whoops), nor that it necessarily applies. Marigold does have self esteem issues though, as evidenced several times in the comic, indeed the fallout from the zero G puke is an example.
And okay, perhaps playing with a DS while at a party on a space station is a bit antisocial and nerdy, but Francis didn't know anything about her personal life beyond that, which is kind of my whole point.

Would it help if his middle name was Henry?

You do that and get back to me.
