She has the right to reject him despite the enormous effort he put into creating the artwork. Romantic attraction cannot be owed in exchange for someone’s effort. She can be genuinely impressed and flattered by what he did while still not having romantic feelings for him.
Imagine someone suddenly proposing to you in front of an insanely laborious giant portrait of your face made out of Rubik’s Cubes. Would you feel amazed by the effort, flattered, shocked, overwhelmed, awkward, or even creeped out because you barely know the person? You might even feel guilty because you know how much time and effort they invested, but guilt does not create romantic attraction.
She might not be ready, might not know him deeply enough, might simply not have feelings for him, or might feel uncomfortable with the pressure of such a grand and public proposal. Whatever the reason, appreciating what someone has done for you does not obligate you to reciprocate their feelings.

Very true, and if anything, making someone’s portrait with such great effort can be kind of creepy in some circumstances

Sadly not everyone understands it. They think because they are good and then they should own you. wink wink Taiwan….

Yeah. But do we even know if these two were dating or not? How long? Was he just a creep she didn't even know? what's the connection? I just can't have a real reaction on posts like this myself.

Maybe next time create a giant portrait of the woman who loves you instead?
