I think "cute & cheerful" is more than enough to spark the attraction of the 17 year-old male.
Apart from that, he's obviously a lonely navy brat who's never really had any friends, and she immediately treated him kindly and showed a genuine interest in him. I think there's more than enough there to explain his interest, though I agree we certainly haven't gotten as deeply into who she really is as we have the two male leads.
