Like I said, you don't have to read the first one as familiarity, what I'm saying is that running into the second one then lends more implication of it to the first one. And that's just good writing for a game heavily predicated on choices as far as I'm concerned. There's no reason for her to be specific that first time but getting to know more later can change the contextual reading and that's great. I feel like I already covered the content in the game I think works together for this to make sense so being more specific about why you don't think there's enough isn't going to change my mind. I feel like discussion between us has kinda run its course now. Mostly wanted to add my takes in here on the off-chance any of this makes it back to the writers as feedback anyway.
... but it doesn't. She shuts you down on THREE occasions. That doesn't hint at her saying it's "encouraged" later in the game, that literally implies the opposite. Lae'zel even mocks you for going into a night of "endless conversation" if you choose Shadowheart over her at the party. She's a good judge of character, it seems.
Or are you one of those people who thinks when a woman says no, they actually mean yes? Because then indeed, we'll have to agree to disagree.
