Pretty much this. If Julio doesn't start making actual progress towards pursuing his interest in Aguilera, he's going to end up losing her and it'll be his fault.

I even see more of something between Julio and Sakura even though that one's not my thing

Fair point about Julio learning to have more confidence in himself. I guess I wouldn't mind if Julio could find love with someone who sees him as an equal. Although I'd hope that part of Aguilera's development would be learning to respect him more anyway. Even if Julio gets shipped with someone else, I'd still want someone different for Aguilera regardless.
