I'm not naive dude, i simply stating my subjective opinion. I mean, after that meticulous characterization throughout the volumes, i find Ise fall short in term of character development. His obnoxious lewd behaviour, even after Rias become his girlfriend is so unbearable. Volume after volume, he didnt become more mature in his action IMO. Even he has other good qualities, it does not enough to offset his childish behaviour. Don't such extreme desire Issei has have a limit? I feel bad or the other characters (e.g. Rias, Koneko, Asia), especially Rias, who through time, she become more mature, warm and more understanding to others, and her characterization shows that she really loves Issei. In the other side, Ise is so self centered and arrogant, he is not become more understanding, he is shown doesn't even thinking about Rias feeling (e.g. dating with other girls while he already has girlfriend) nor showing a quality where he should have common responsibilities to Rias as her legitimate Boyfriend (e.g. being more mature, understanding, taking care of her, not making she envy, etc). He see those girls as a mere his lust object.

If since the first time he has multiple girlfriend and confess his love to many girls, I think i would not even thinking about this lenghty statement.
