They don't look neutral to me and others requesting an option, though. Not at all.
The suggestion was also not to give us different dialogue options to ask for kisses. It was for a dialogue flag to lead to the old kisses if Tav has already expressed fear or unhappiness in one or multiple dialogues before.

Maybe that's true for a lot of players posting here, but whenever this topic is discussed elsewhere, from what I have seen, far more people thought the old expressions made more sense or would be in favor of at least making the change to the new ones optional.
