For some reason LJ is being a little bitch and screwing up my replies. So let me see if I can remember what I wrote ...
I don't buy that Dean had never been kissed at 16. According to writer Adam Glass, he made Dean 14 in Bad Boys but when they saw Dylan Everett, they thought he looked older and changed Dean's age to 16. That's why Sam looked much younger than 12. If we take John Winchester's journal as a canon timeline (and Kripke did approve it) then Dean had a girlfriend at age 14. I don't take Bad Boys as canon as far as Dean's age then. I think that his genesis to being a Romeo is much more natural and convincing too if he were younger.
Lydia -- yeah that would take the wind out of any guy's sails. I wasn't surprised that he turned down Ellie because he was dealing with hellhounds, but I would have thought his request for a rain check would have been more convincing. I liked seeing him back to his old self with Suzy; although I found him ignoring Sam's repeated calls in the middle of a hunt problematic. The G-rated sex scenes are weird. If rumor is to be believed, Jensen has a "no nipples" clause in his contract now. I can understand the actors not wanting to go around half naked in every ep, but sometimes the scene calls for it, and it is really out of character for Dean.
