Actually, he is consciously avoiding it. Ryuuji does find her physically attractive, but really doesn't want to admit it.
Reminds me of Kyon.

Yeah, it does. Why do people still have this philosophy? Adaptations should either be exactly like the original, improve upon the original in a non-subjective way, or be completely and totally different.
You can't change a whole bunch of little things, add in a new ending out of left field, and expect the story to still flow.
Since they've followed the novel up until now, (and by episode titles, it appears as thought they're going to keep doing so) any other ending besides the novel ending is going feel really really bad, literary-wise.
Again, you can't set up one ending and then pull a last-minute reset and a switcheroo. It's just bad writing, plain and simple.
