Just a comment on what we've seen so far

Spoiler:

And she was in a place where she was closests to him and happy (to a point)
She didn't have to act on her feelings or maybe up until that time she didn't realize how she felt
Enter Yurika to threaten their relationship whatever it may be

Then in a mere moment he completely falls for Yurika and Ri realizes that he's never seen her in that way
You can see she became a bit nervous when Yurika arrives annd is relieved when Yurika says that she was invited by Kaoru

That upset of her relationship with him forced her feelings out

Jinichi is likely the first man she has met who is her intellectual and emotional equal, hence her instant attraction to him.

The guy kind of exudes coolness (also due to Suwabe)
You can be lead to think that he's a bit of a ladies man -- he's seemingly a mature confident type Tokyo college student who works in a bar and plays jazz and they all love him in that sense
That's a dreamy set up right there lol
