I suspect that if it did seem like Nishikata would actually try to take her up on the suggestion, Takagi would freak out and suddenly find a way out of it. There are only two reasons the poor girl makes these suggestions: she loves his reactions, and she knows she’ll never have to back any of it up. She really doesn’t want that kind of physical intimacy.
