She certainly seems impressed so far. However, we already know he ends up with a black eye and no sign of Emily in the vicinity, so I'm guessing she doesn't stay that way.

My projection was intended for the days following, not the rest of this evening. The theory's already been advanced that Clinton gets the black eye from trying to defend Emily from someone else; that could lay the ground for a positive response from Emily the next day. Remember how impressed she was with Marten's impulsive (if rather misguided) old-fashioned heroism saving her from a harmless snake bite.

He doesn't actually know how to do that. The barber and tattoo are convenient displacement activity.

FWIW, my reading of this is that Clinton went to the barbers, then they had the dinner and the walk along the bike trail. The conversation about tattoos took place whilst sitting on a bench somewhere along the trail.
You see, Clinton has reached the end of his Plan and, I think, he is now improvising. They are making conversation about personal things such as likes, dislikes and aesthetics. This is so subjective that the social pressures are rising continually. This is not a good thing for someone like Clinton, or so the evidence suggests.
ZoeB:
As regards unfortunate and regrettable actions that can't be undone... these are mild and mostly harmless. Thank goodness.
Learning experiences of the "OMG what have I DONE!!" variety rather than the more prosaic and tragic ones, such as wrapping a car round a tree, taking a pill that's far too potent, or even getting blotto and falling victim to those who'd take advantage. Not very serious mistakes with horribly serious consequences.
This one - could be a heck of a lot worse. I wonder if Emily will realise her power - and maybe think things through a bit more, as Clinton is too besotted to. The power of a pretty girl with a sunny personality - and a sun dress to match.

Oh my, what an assertive, impulsive young man who knows his own mind. My heart's all a-flutter.
