Yes, to be more detailed.
This weak dialog comes after "I want the best for you."
".... What can I do for you my pet?"
1. My goal is not to become a vampire. Pass. \If that's not what Astarion wants, but hasn't really said it in this dialog yet\
2. He's one of the reasons I play. I want to, of course. I saw it as a sharp flirtation from my Tav... But if you think about it, "Your body," as Nyloth said, is really kind of... not very nice. Especially since Astarion said he didn't want it to look like "just sex". Pass. \I'm a fairly romantic person
3. Not so bad, but I'm not a teacher. But I have to be because...
4. I (my Tav) his, from Act 1. This has always been a edgy flirtation for me from the vampire bun. He used to call my Tav that. Though in this situation he was probably testing a reaction, but it's not clear because he's actually flirted like that before. I think I sensed a hint of it, but like my reaction was still : D "Huh, you cheeky pup". If I said that, it was just playful.
So, yeah, we're not the romantic option. But it's a romance with the Vampire Lord. We can carve out a grove and ok, evil but ok, and we can't be romantic with Lord Astarion. Meh.
5. I want to be with you. - That's a good suggestion
6. Or really be the practical Tav who thinks and\or worries not about candles and bodies but about dealing with the tadpole in our heads. And again it's just practical-neutral (although it's even caring about "us"), because we already have a negative answer.
I hope it helped to understand why this dialog looks so odd to some people.
