Of course, what also helped in that regard was that he wasn't acting as if she was just a piece of 'cheesecake'. Many boys tended to not look at 'her' when they were around her. Rather, they focused on parts of her, like the ones who'd think that they were not going to be noticed as they stared at her backside, or the guys who tended to look down at her chest when they were talking to her.
Here was a boy who seemed to be genuinely interested in her, and simply wanted nothing more than to share his experiences with her. It was actually quite enjoyable, and she liked the opportunity to know someone who was actually quite nice to be around. She could handle all the self righteous hypocrites, the gold diggers, and the perverts, but this was rather relaxing and comfortable.
Besides, it was nice to see his father seeming to be rather put out by the whole conversation.

"Oh, them? I noticed them a while back," Ranma admitted, not seeming to be fazed by the stares of the other two.
"Then why not mention it?"
"Simple. They haven't been doin' anythin'. For all I knew, they could be simply passin' by, trackin' us, waitin' for a good time, or simply coming to attack us. Couldn't be sure, so...."
