People like Piero have very intense personalities. His speech patterns and actions during conversations suggest Asperger's. This means he is highly intelligent but cannot make social connections easily. Seeing as how autism-related disorders span an entire spectrum, many people fall below the line of Asperger's but have similar, if less pronounced, tendencies.

Anyway, these people have an intense focus and are entirely capable of a passionate relationship, but proper social graces for such things are counterintuitive and difficult. This can make it extremely difficult for the man to be the forward one in the relationship if he is the one with the disorder, which actually makes it easier for a connection to form if the woman desires the relationship and the man is the passive one in the "dating game."

TL;DR: It's actually possible for Piero X Cecelia to work if Cecelia gets tired enough of his failure to notice her and asks him about it.
