Now I'll wait for the people who actually know Japanese to come in and correct me.

There's nothing to correct, it's as you say. 付き合う (tsukiau) literally means to accompany and carries the connotation of dating.
The misunderstanding is clearly Hayate's fault, he also added 僕君が欲しいんだ (boku kimi ga hoshiinda=I want/desire you), Don't ask me how he got the idea that this would convey the idea of kidnapping, but well.
If he only would have said the last phrase where he used さらう (sarau) which literally means take away forcefully/kidnap, she might have understood... but after the first two things he said it most probably wouldn't be interpreted as literal kidnapping.
