I'm facepalming so hard right now =D
The funny thing is, it's all about phrasing. Literally everything he said could've been rephrased in a way that'd be reassuring instead of upsetting and mildly insulting.
Dale doesn't have to shower her with compliments, he just has to say whatever he has to say in a slightly less... "she's better than you in every way" manner.

Is QC turning into a silliness contest?
I mean, we all are oblivious sometimes, or say something inappropriate we regret later. But not everybody all the time!

I can't help but wonder if, normally they don't communicate much verbally at all. It's possible that their interactions are normally to playing games, watching (and critiquing) animé and sex. They've never really got to the point where they discuss feelings for each other, outside of reassuring each other that any doubts the other has are silly.
Basically, their relationship is that of a pair of dating teenagers. Maybe this arc is about them finding depth or just quitting because it's becoming too hard to maintain (let alone progress) the relationship any further.

To me, what happened is also a short story arc. I can't see any relationship recovering from what just happened.

Last week Dale stepped on a landmine.
This week he jumps up and down on it.
