Anyway I have a couple of theories why he never tried anything with me.
1. He wasn't Sacred 28 (like a lot of Slytherin), just a regular pureblood, and so he didn't feel like he could afford that sort of relationship even if it was obviously exploitation.
2. I was roommates with Daphne and best friends with Pansy, and Blaise was just aware enough of the sort of social currents between girl roommates to realise that he might wind up in unexpectedly hot water if he openly took advantage of me. (An actual relationship was obviously out of the question.)
3. He was probably afraid I'd turn him down, and while being turned down by a pureblood girl was painful, being turned down by a girl he considered below him would have been utterly humiliating.
(This is all assuming he really did carry a torch for me. I mean, he was very drunk that night when he wrote all that out.)
